Personally I wouldn't give a flying monkey about how it looks,in fact it wouldn't even bother me seeing people outside the pub.They can do whatever they like.

fair enough on the no family ppl.
Drove past our local pub today, and what did i see like 5 ppl waiting for it to openWho would in there right mind would go out on xmas day to the pub. Its about staying in with your family, it made them look right spanners.
...says the guy sat on the internet? :/
I'd rather be in the pub than sat online, but no one I know will be at the pub so I'm making do here for the time being.

Obviously not everyone is as lucky as you. Calm down! What does it matter to you anyway?

I have no family. They are all glued to the Wii
I'll probably be popping over to the pub in a bit, make some new friends

Maybe 'er indoors is making Christmas dinner and told them to stay out of the way so they are hiding down the pub to avoid being shouted out ...
As already said, this is a traditional thing where the pubs open for a few hours and the men go for a pint while the dinner is getting ready. This has been going on for as long as I can remember
A lot of people have family over and a couple of hours down the pub before dinner is often how they catch up.

I wasnt standing waiting for it to open but I did pop round with my dad for a few beers its nice to relax and have a chat while all the excitment is going on in the house espeically now im at uni and dont get to spend a lot of time with him
Me, my bro, my grandad and dad always go to the pub for an hour on Christmas day. It's about having a good time, and feeling festive. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with it, and lots of people in our town do exactly the same thing.
Ditto. Went for a pint with me dad while the women took care of the turkey.
Every year at about 6 when dinner is done, me, my uncle and some mates all go to our local GAA club for a few pints. It's tradition and has been going on for years. A lot of people don't have the luxury of spending Christmas with family. If I wasn't starting work in a couple of hours I'd probably head out as sitting here by myself listening to everyone blabber on about what clothes and aftershave they got along with the rubish TV is really getting me down. Being alone at Christmas sucks.
Also, some people spend the entire run up to Christmas and Christmas day with their family. There's nothing wrong with escaping the family for a couple of hours.
