There will be the four of us. My wife, my 21 year old lad, my 16 year old lad, and me.
My wife will go to a great deal of creative trouble to prepare a traditional Christmas lunch centred on turkey. I peel things for this to make sure I'm seen to be doing something and cannot be nagged at. I also wash up, which means I feed the dishwasher.
We will eat from about 3.00pm. There will be plenty of drinks beforehand, and wines during. I will go very easy as drink doesn't agree with me.
Food will be very plentiful, and I will eat wagonloads of meat as I love it.
I don't like Christmas pudding, brandy butter. That stuff is sick. I'll have some fruit salad instead.
It will be quiet and very family centred. We will swap presents after the lunch. I will want to light up a D4 sometime after this, as my boys rave about the smell, and even my wife agrees it smells preity good. Christmas is when I can get away with it in the house without screams.
I'm a bit of a killjoy because I actually detest Christmas. I grew up in a family always at war, screaming and throwing food up the wall. I'm still a bit shocked that things pass off normally year on year.
I detest board games and card games, so will always sit out on the offer to join in. I cannot stand those sorts of games.
We'll all be farting by about seven o'clock, and I'll no doubt fall asleep like a fat bastard.
I'm always happy when Christmas is over and normality can come back. It's the treating each other and greeting each other in a curious first-time way that I can't cope with. It's a calorie-packed day on helium in my mind.
