Hmmm...I would take a full week off and spend half of it with my dad's side of the family and the second half with my mom's side.  There would be lots of food and gifts and fun and laughing and movies and snow!!

But if I could really have my dream it would be to have everyone, all my family, both sides and my friends (POE friends too) and have them all together at once and have a kick a$& party!!

Ah..if only...

Well, since my significant other will be spending Christmas with his children in Florida, my sister and I will be on our own. That being the case, and assuming I had about six thousand pounds to do it right, I would grab my sister and high tail it to England where we would spend at least least two full days in London (shopping at Harrods!!!). After that we would make a mad dash around to visit as many of our POE friends as possible. Finally, we would settle down in an English castle/hotel for the actual holiday.


And all that on just SIX Thousand pounds? I think I need you to organise my holidays Diana. Lol

Not sure of the Queen's rates at her small castle in Windsor, but perhaps she might be able to spare a room for you Diana? Clanking chains in the night I presume are optional.  You must have some terrific holidays in mind Peter that are incredible for that kind of money.

Christmas is normal working so that'll be as usual. Otherwise, it'd be driving off somewhere to take photos I meant to take,but didn't get 'round to in the year. Likely places might be North Devon; Dorset coastline; Lake District or Yorkshire.

One of my uncles used to be a guard at Windsor;  my Dad used to be a guard at Buckingham Palace, so a few years back, might have put a good word in for you, but alas.....She has a nice castle at Balmoral in Scotland as well, but expect she might be spending Xmas up there.   I'll have to check the paper under Castles to Let......and see if any come all-inclusive with a nice ghost or two as well, though they tend to put guests off a bit, especially when stuff in your room starts moving around with their variation of room service.

I would have a "tax return free" Christmas. I would be happy to be able to enjoy Christmas instead of being bogged down by the Self Assessment deadline! Gordon Brown "Bah Humbug".

Hi Paul!! How are you?? Laughing

I'm fine thanks you Krissy.  It probably would be the Ghost of Xmas past comming to see what Diana has in her Harrods shopping bags.  And yesterday Krissy, was the anniversary of the first ever phone call between a plane and a car which happened over Wilmington, Delaware in 1947. Perhaps they were just calling for the time, and got someone's car instead???
