Hi,

What are your Christmas guilty pleasure, mine (in no particular order) are:-

1. A glass or two of Baileys, also might have a Haveys Bristol Cream.
2. Watching Srooge (The 1970 one with Albert Finney/Alec Guinness.
3. Eating a many Heroes as humanly possible.
4. Going to a Carol Service and singing my lungs out even though I'm not vaguely religious.

Merry Christmas

I always watch coming to America and Trading places,

We also keep up the tradition of making my nan's "Rocket Fuel". Essentially, a large mix of spirits, aimed to be punch that is strong enough to power a small village for a year.

And now my brother is trying to introduce jagerbombs as a chrimbo tradition for some reason.

I don't eat chocolate all year I'm really not that bothered by it, but with the exception of those red lindt chocolate things, oh my days i think i could gorge myself to death on those. Only ever seem to have them in the house at Christmas and they don't last long!

Thought of another, Sherry Trifle for breakfast !

In fact raiding the fridge for sweet/savory goodies that you'd never usually get away with scoffing for breakfast, the disapproving looks/comments can all be cancelled out by the magic "Its Christmas" phrase

Trading Places for Christmas day, Coming to America for boxing day... Pretty standard each year.

1-5 bottles of baileys
1-5 boxes of matchmakers
A lot of mince pies
A great deal of choc biscuits (either choc hobnobs, cookies or cadburys fingers)

All whilst watching Band of Brothers (christmas tradition), Goonies, Scrooged and Santa Claus the Movie with Dudley Moore
