Just saw a Restaurant advertising 120 euros for Christmas Lunch per person. No entertainment, no Harrods crackers and above all Father Christmas can't make it.  So what's that all about I wonder.  Extremely expensive. 

Your thoughts folks.

DonnaDianna,

That would work out as being quite an expensive meal for two 

Along with The Meat and Two Veg,

Were there any Dumplings ?

Good morning Donna and Les...Please walk on!

There are possibly MANY facilities offering what you are looking for!

It would be cheaper to have dinner with Prince Andrew than this.🙄.

They are just 'trying the water' on this one.

Some establishments are a sheer RIP-off!

You can all come to mine for THIRTY bob!..🅱️.

Bryan. That is nice for invite us all & thank you. That´s amazing value at 1.50 gbp !

about €1.75 (with the exchange rates). I take it "stuffing" is included?

Bryan, It was nice of you to offer that xmas meal but I am afraid I must decline as I dont fancy beans on toast with the cranberry  sauce 

You do, however make a valid point about people making the effort to try and ensure others are not left spending the whole of xmas day on their own.

On that very point,  can I ask if you have ever considered taking the Monkees advice when they sang  'Gonna buy me a Dog '  ( 1966) . ?

Thank you Les...It is like everything else, you either love it or loath it...I am the latter...

I don't have ANY family/children etc, and the season is always a 'non-starter' for me.

My immediate neighbours here, are all 'at home' with their respective families throughout the UK, so nothing is any different for me.

I am also teetotal and don't visit pubs, but this is a 'self-imposed' situation, and I am happy with it. Sad innit?

In my humble opinion, Christmas is far too 'overrated' it has now lost the original 'Christian' aspect...It is just a good excuse for a good 'p##s up. Peace and goodwill to all men, (And women: Sexist!😳)...🅱️.
