Good things to do on Christmas Day that don't involve...

[Frimley111R]

...sitting around watching TV (and eating Christmas Dinner).

This year there are 12 of us, mostly all adults, and I am keen not to do the usual TV/Eating/Drinking for the entire day. What do you do to make the day a bit more special, get people doing things together etc?

Know anyone you don't like? A nice spot of knock-down ginger during the lunch time period and the inevitable post-food snooze period.

This!

I played this for the first time a few weeks ago with a bunch of mates after a few (a lot) of beers. Absolutely hilarious.

Find a nice pub that's open for a few hours in the afternoon - take a walk there.

You'd better bung a loo roll in the fridge with that food choice Soov.

Morris dancing. you'll never look back.

Are they all coming to your house? I know what I'd do if someone invited me over for X-mas day and didn't supply my fill of food and drink (the TV I could live without), especially if they suggested we all go for a "walk"... Cheapskate, you can go for a "walk" any day of the year, X-Mas is for feasting.

Alternatively play Monopoly or Risk, either way guaranteed no one is coming back next year (suppose that might be a win).

Will you have the energy for that?

If one of you owns a dog, long walk in the nearest country park.

I take my dog out 1st thing xmas day and the park is always busy, then take him again in the afternoon, and most of the guys end up wearing a jumper they have got for xmas, good or bad.
