I like being busy - I love seeing ALL my family together on Christmas Day. I also like meeting up with all my friends. We all end up heading back to the Town we're from as we're all scattered across the country - and it's the only time of year we're all together, and has been this way for 8 years.
We also head up just past your way (to Co Durham) to visit hubby's parents.
Best of all - the fact that I can eat whatever I want and no one can complain as it's Christmas
