whats your best thing about xmas dinner or the day itself

And Julie Andrews dude!

And Judy Garland.

And to be pedantic, due to the Gregorian/Julian calendar issue, Christmas Day is not actually directly related to the birth of Christ.

Christmas day was *never* related to the birth of Christ. Christmas is an old pagan festival that was co-opted by Christians. What better way to help non-believers convert to your religion than by celebrating the same festivals.

My family are regular churchgoers and we go to the Xmas service - love singing Xmas hymns. I always have to work on Xmas morning but when I get home at lunchtime the rest of the family are cooking the dinner and there's always a whisky waiting, a big log fire and a comfy couch ............aaahhhh bliss.

Too right.

or did i just type a sentence that was, like way to long.....innit !

I'm well known for being a bit of a pedant, so it's not too surprising. I'm sure however that you will fight back.
