Xmas

Merry Christmas to all Hope you all have a good christmas and I also hope that you all get what you desire.

In the UK christmas Eve is nothing. But as my girlfriend, brother in law and mother in law are portugeuse we will have a tradional COD(fish) supper. Also the traditional portugeuse way is to open presents at midnight Christmas Eve.
In the UK this doesnt happen presents are opened when you get up on Christmas day, and also a traditional christmas dinner with turkey as the main meat.
It would be interesting if you can post your country's Xmas eve/Xmas day tradition. Thanks.

Merry Xmas from Spain too Tonight is the big night here- everyone has dinner with the family but after midnight you can be excused and meet up with friends. Everything is closed from lunch-time till midnight but the clubs and the discos open then and people spend the night on the streets making as much noise as possible with tamborines and drums and a thing called a zambomba.

The kids don't get their presents until the 6th of January when the 3 Kings arrive in every town with a big procession. Children who have been bad get coal instead of presents.

Because we're Brits we divide the celebrations - some nice seafood on 24th, Spanish style and a roast suckling pig for lunch on 25th with brussel sprouts and roast potatoes and this year we scored a Xmas pud.

Have a great time all and hope you don't get too much coal!

having xmas in portagual wouldnt be that bad as it wouldnt be as nut shrinkingly freezing as it is in the UK but the meal isnt as good i don't think

and on that note merry christmas to all!!

Merry christmas. Not typical of the UK but in my and the twangers house we dont just get a meal- we get its life story and an explaination of how she killed it. The good point here being i met him a few months back and hated him- it will be a great pleasure devouring its flesh. and on that note- enjoy your meals!
