And with that, I bid you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I will be working through the holidays this year but having time off in Feb to have fun with family in New Zealand. Introduce my girlfriend and take my daughter to Milford Sound. Trek the National Park. It’s what she wants. Fishing with my brothers.

What are you guys up to for Christmas?

We’re having a beach Christmas. Ham and salads and surf with family. I’m making a chocolate cake. Fingers crossed the weather is nice.
 
Fishing with my brothers.

Ive just bought a lobster fishing patch, off the coast of Padstow. Ill be fishing with my sister (and other baits) should be a decent harvest,

best wishes for the bext year.
 
Copious amounts of nog and glogg to wether the winter.

Beach Christmas sounds nice. Not on the local beaches though.

Ive got 4 chickens. decided to make my own egg nog. bad idea... costing me a fortune in brandy. (got around the cinamom bit by simply emitimg it so saved a few quid there.)
 
I going to try for a daily sugar high - preferably from whiskey or tequila.

a whiskey, honey, bovril blend is awesome.

Whiskey with out Bovril (excluding single malts) is wasteful.

Bells and Marmite... to die for.

The boys dive for crays.

And other baits. Haha! My sisters don’t fish unfortunately :D

We have a couple of good spots up north. It’s a bit of a trek but the fishing is great. Kahawai and snapper mainly, but the odd kingfish if we’re lucky. All good eating. We smoke the kahawai and make raw fish with the snapper. Fresh fish n chips for everyone. I honestly can’t wait. Miss my brothers.
 
I get a week off from school. I'm going to sloth like there's no tomorrow.

Haha! We’ll probably get a game of beach volleyball going and catch a few waves but other than that there will be plenty of eating and a few naps I’d imagine.

good point. I had a good spot on the Leeds / Huddersfield canal, but then the police bought a dredger. The rest is hidtory. completley ruined the fishing.

We’re heading down the coast.

I do enjoy a bevvie at Christmas. I think I drank maybe half a beer last year. The boys enjoy a brew or ten but the women in my family not so much. Busy.

I’ll sneak a drink in somewhere I’m sure. :)
 
And cricket. Watching and playing.

Take care everyone and be safe.

Kate and Fata, have a bloody good one. Miss you girls xxx
 
My sister works Christmas day :(, but I'm sure the family will get together Christmas eve instead. I'll find something to do the day of.

Skipping town for new year's weekend though, and heading south.
 
Merry holidays mate.



It’s good to have goals. I enjoy a glass of Ballentines and coke. A few shots of Jager are good too. Depends on how much space there is after all the food

Sometimes a shot or two are needed for digestion purposes. ;)
 
Apparently my Christmas tree fell over sideways like an hour ago.

I think that's indicative of this whole season. I'm feeling very "Bah humbug" this year and idk why.
 
I’ll be in Chicago for part of the week and then up to Big Sky with family. It’s always great fun when we all get together. This year everyone can make it. That hasn’t happened for almost 4 years. I’m really looking forward to it. 😊

Remember that the base of the Lone Peak Tram is on a rock glacier and it's constantly moving downhill, albeit at a slow pace.
 
Things will be quiet around here for the holidays, then it’s off to a more southern locale for a few weeks of extreme r&r.
 
All the best Season's Greetings to everyone for the 2018 Xmas and 2019 New Year festivities :heart:

This year, my entire family will be together for the first time in 15 years. Looking forward to having everyone in the same place at the same time for a change!
We typically don't indulge in all the Christmasy consumerism, but rather do a big lunch, a secret santa (single gift, with a spend limit) and have a day together relaxing and just being happy in eachothers company :)
