Johnniey Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Merry Christmas to ALL members and their families. Wishing everyone a pleasant holiday season. Not sure if I'll put up my lights this year, partly due to the King's passing and partly due to laziness. Johnniey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. have you managed to get christmas crackers as I'm after some? Big c Tesco ? to spice it up and get my extended family super excited I want to funnel in a few baht into the crackers. 20/50/100 Satang! (joke) and see their eyes light up when they find the cash inside. I'm going for Roast Chicken and some of those chicken borghasse and sausages blankets stuff for meat. We're buying all the family a piece of clothing. black being the wise choice this year. I want to get them warm jumpers as NE Thailand is pretty cold this time of year. (no joke) so something to wrap em up at night. I need to be careful with alcohol her brother gets over excited her cousin has paranoid delusions if he sniffs coffee and her mom will give her husband the evil eye if he has a taste with me. I'm encouraged to drink for some reason although it's rare i ever do. not really going all out as you can tell but I'm actually excited as none of them have a clue what christmas is apart from the Mrs. just a dinner really and a few crackers. Can you imagine there faces when one finds 40 baht in a cracker and the other finds 50 etc. do you think they will appreciate it or perhaps wonder why one got more than the other? Wondering if the foods will be too bland for them too. Anyway let's see. Merry Christmas Edited December 17, 2016 by Rc2702 Crappy keypad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas to you and your Family.... Very difficult to make a cynical comment when he posts a picture like that. Devious chap he is, silencing potential critics through the sly use of a kid's happiness. Hopefully, the kid doesn't get clothes or a dictionary like I did. Yes, seriously, a french english dictionary. I did get hot wheels one year, but never a train set. For some strange reason I remember always having bacon and french toast on christmas morning.

Do you recommend that they sit around and look at pics on the internet of happy families? There will be widows who will think of their deceased spouses, divorcees who think of their exes having fun with someone else. Ahh yes, happy times. Ok, I am being a prat, but keep a thought for those of us that are alone. I dread having to call in to my family to do the Christmas call. My sister is going to again ask why I am not there for dinner and that I am not very family focused. :) Edited December 18, 2016 by geriatrickid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many who chose to leave their families to come to Thailand. Should I allow them to dictate whether I wish the rest of the members a Merry Christmas or not? They don't have to read the thread. I know some people will be alone and that might be sad. My father died this year and it was particularly important that we chipped in to get my mother to be here with her grandkids. Like, I said, Christmas is a time for family to get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) When I was still in USA, if I was spending Christmas by myself, I had a 50 liter pot and bought 2 large whole smoked hams -- I cooked them in water the day before and then trimmed them and stuck them in the oven with a glaze on Christmas day. Then I brought the hams to a place that was having a free Christmas dinner for those who otherwise would not have a Christmas dinner. Enough ham for about 100 persons. Then I didn't care what I did the rest of the day but I felt pretty good. Edited December 18, 2016 by JLCrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
