Christmas Day drinking

what time does evryone start?

About 9am.

But I moderate it throughout the day. Rarely steaming by the time I go to bed, even with a traditional pub lock-in.

Prob about 8 for me

As above. A few bucks fizz in the morning, then just general topping up through the day.

Midday on Christmas Eve.

8am taips?

Yeah shoey - the wife (who doesn't drink much) goes apeshit for Buck's Fizz at Chrimbo. It's quite nice, but I'm soon on the cider. After she's made me have a f*cking snowball!!!!!!

I have fallen foul of this the last couple of years. I'm going to be Mr. Moderate this time around. I'm tired of freaking people out that I haven't seen for ages.

Sun comes up at about 4.30am at the mo.

It all depends whether I decide to wake the kids at 5 or not.

Kids? You have kids? Well I suppose it explains why you want to get her drinking...

I think you might want to rethink this post

Oh yeah, I forgot you're in one of those weird antipodean countries.

5 o'clock is extreme. Even I don't get that excited that Father Christmas has come.

Well, they woke me at that time for years

Revenge! Nice.

I still do get up early, I can't help it. For me it's a few doobies whilst I wait for the bird to get up. It's the one day I don't mind the utter shithouse Christmas TV.

They play Christmas TV on other days?

Have to do a bit of driving on Xmas Day so will have a few Xmas Eve, then settle in at lunch...
