Merry Christmas fellow donstalkers! We’re all done and dusted in NZ, hope you all have a great day 👍🍻

Merry Xmas manc_don. Hope today has been exceptional. Me and my better half have had a day of pretty much non-stop drinking and eating.

My kids are with their mother til 27th, so we took the opportunity to club together with other ex-pat pals who don't have kids this Xmas. Finishing off the day right now with a fine Glenlivet 18 yr old 

Merry Christmas folks. Just about to work out cooking time for everything for dinner. 10 year old been up since half 5 this morning. No chance Inam staying awake through dinner.

One of our boys decided 3am was acceptable, having made himself sick from the excitement of Xmas eve and then spotted the stockings were filled. Took my wife until 5 to get him back to sleep, at which point his brother woke up and went “psst, have you felt your stocking yet, time to get up!” 🙈

My daughter had the Santa tracker on and we told her we knew people who would be getting presents when he arrived in New Zealand. Turns out she wasn’t far wrong when she asked if they would be up soon. Looks like you were. 

Merry Xmas to you all from Florida! A bit delayed here, my boys were up at 1 am FFS!! Managed to get them back to sleep by 3 and up again at 6! Sadly, it’s not like the Christmas’ I remember, nobody got an Aberdeen top, no mitre moldmaster, no subbuteo, but it was a good day!
