Traditional or Alterantive Christmas

7 Comments

We are pondering the idea of having a different Christmas this year. We are thinking of having an alternative Christmas rather than traditional. We usually have a feast of roast turkey with all of the trimmings and plum pudding with brandy butter. We are thinking of having a seafood feast at the coast and having a beach Christmas. We are also thinking of keeping the presents to a minimum, donating money to charity instead and spending money on accommodation at the coast and having a good long holiday. Presents will lose appeal, but holiday experiences and memories will go on forever. What do other Mums think?

Love it! So true that the presents will be forgotten but holiday memories last a life time

We go for a cold buffet lunch, and try to keep presents small.

Its a good idea to try something new, just expect it to be expensive at the coast,if you stay on after christmas. i know of some hotels trippiling their prices per night close to new years eve. It would be great for the kids to have a new experience over christmas. and easy to explain why santa can not give to many gifts etc due to having to take them home again.
Happy holidays….
