Winter Solsice and holiday Party

[MissR]

No family this year - I don't fancy flying 12 000 miles for a Christmas goose.

The town where I live has street parties on Christmas Eve. They start around noon and run into the wee hours. Nothing raucous, very family friendly. The parties resume after lunch on Christmas Day, and Boxing Day is for clean-up.

It's a grand time. Everyone (or nearly) comes out - the oldies, the wee ones, all in between. Music, dancing, food that'll hurt you, games for the kiddies, Father Christmases everywhere you look. Great fun.

Yeah, it would be a real pain to fly that far. I wish we had street parties here. I'm awful lonely and would like that! Sounds like a lot of fun!

I disgraced myself so badly the last time I drank that I now only drink in tightly controlled environments.

I got pretty drunk last year on the 25th. I had to wait awhile until I drove home.

That's an awesome looking pizza, where can I get one, good pizzas are hard to find these days. My wife makes a better pizza than what we can buy around here.

I don't know where you can get one. I had some pizza last night and it was pretty bad. Can't find a good one around here unless you want to pay a fortune.

My entire family (kids) will be home! Lots of food lots of football and lots of just hanging out.

It's nice to be with family, yes! We will probably watch football, too, at my brother's.
