Like machineman above, no-one in my enormous family is remotely religious, in fact I don't know anyone in my country who is religious in any way. I feel very lucky that I live in a "secular" country, where religion takes little or no part, and has no effect, on anyone's life.. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Christmas, for me is an excuse to prepare and cook a more elaborate meal than I usually cook.

My youngest Son, (36), is travelling from Leeds to Hereford to visit me for one of my special Xmas dinners (to save him from cooking his own) so I have some extra shopping to do, and its always nice to feed someone else for a change (apart from me!).
I have made a list of all the goodies I need, to eat, drink, (and get rat-arsed like machineman), from my local Supermarket.
So that's Xmas for

If you want a scary nurse can I recommend my mum? A terrifying creature who whilst on crutches beat up a builder and chased him out of his own house!
She was kicked out of the SS Waffen for being too scary!!!
She once gave a bloke a bed bath with a washing up sponge using the rough green side for feeling up one of the new nurses. She said he glowed like he'd got terminal sunburn. Needless to say he didn't interfere with any of the nurses again ;D ;D ;D
Now you understand why I fear nowt and no one, when my mum takes the field whole Scottish regiments run-away ;D

Christmas is really a hijacked pagan festival , it has nothing to do with religion more to do with feasting and celebrating the winter solstice, the romans brung it( christmas) to britain yonks ago, Charles dickens has a lot to do with how we percieve christmas these days and coca cola are responsible for the big red fat white bearded santa claus image

In the next few days I will be making shopping lists of all sorts of tasty foodstuffs from various markets, ready to spend hours in my kitchen with my trusty gas cooker, surrounded by pots and pans of all shapes and sizes, cooking some wonderful meals for myself...and anyone else who pops in!
Some of my happiest times of the day are spent in my kitchen, wearing my cooks apron and cooks hat, and cooking all sorts of tasty things to eat...
...and sipping a few glasses of Vino at the same time... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

Paul....looking up some tasty recipes.. in my cook books... :)...!

What Christmas means to me:

1) Spending time with family and friends...
2) Looking back at the past year and taking stock of the good (and bad)...
3) Making the annual Xmas Eve trek looking for those who are less fortunate and giving them warm clothing if they need it, for it gets cold here in the Big D this time of year...

4) Listening to "Colorado Christmas", and the Peanuts gang singing "Christmastime Is Here"...
5) Hoping the Broncos will win...

It's a tad bit early, but I would like to wish all of the Simviation membership, their families and loved ones a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
