Christmas 2025

I’ve just suggested to Mrs H we go for a curry. Allegedly, I’m a heathen. 🥴 :(
Christmas dinner is the most overrated meal imo.
I use to cook it,but it’s not worth the hassle.
And to go out for traditional is extortionate.
So Indian it is 😊
4 of us will probably come to £100-£120 rather than £400 for turkey & veg

Is that £400 for just Turkey and veg not a three course meal? Seems a bit pricey?
 
Getting Christmas lunch done for us by my daughter and her fiancée. Up Chesterfield for Christmas Eve, then drive down south Christmas Day morning to arrive early afternoon in time for drinks and chat prior to sitting down at 3pm. Sorted.

Without being racist or anti religion, I suspect the price difference is due to the staff in the Indian restaurants not celebrating Christmas in the same way as those who would be serving in more 'traditional' (bad phrase but couldn't think of a better word!) eateries so are not having to pay staff double or triple time to serve the food.
 
It’s a lovely time for the daughter , she is very much in the spirit , we watch a Xmas film every night and have a Xmas book to read , she loved handing out her Xmas cards to all her friends at school and we have the Xmas Nativity play tomorrow where she is a donkey 😂

She does keep mentioning her grandad which makes her sad but every night she goes to bed with the teddy he got her , the day itself will be great with the whole family and kids everywhere - and that’s my job , keep the kids entertained whilst the wife cooks 😂



Worst thing- the elf 🤬🤬🤬 , can’t wait for the little 💩 to leave 😂

Yeah I’m guessing that’s what it is.
They probably see it as a bonus having the restaurant booked up on what will be a normal day to them.
