Sam, well I am going back to my hometown - Ballarat - for Christmas (but it's only 1hr away for us).

Some things that we have started doing if we have Christmas at home are to have drinks in the morning while opening presents eg. champers for the adults, with a fruit & danish platter. We have named Christmas stockings that hang over the fireplace. Then we might go to the park after everyone is dressed and have a play.

For lunch DP often does a roast on the bbq and I do the veg in the oven and we will also have salads and crusty bread. I don't like pudding but will have ice-cream and custard instead.
