My Dad used to collect Nan, Grandad, Great Aunt and take them out to a country pub on Christmas morning, to give Mum (and me) time to get lunch ready. A small sherry and then home ?

Pretty much what M0nica said.

In my whole life,I cannot remember any Christmas where the men in my family, or guests, would even consider going to the pub. Most of them were casual pub users at best, but mainly they would not want to miss any of the Christmas day at home.

I have been fortunate to have a family, where people do not drink too much and the family can be together for the whole of Christmas without rows and upsets. I suppose that makes a difference.

Whilst waiting in the supermarket queue earlier today I overheard a conversation between a couple of other shoppers. They were discussing Christmas and the subject of the "men" going to the pub on Christmas Day only to return home when the turkey needed carving.

My late first husband never went to the pub on Christmas Day despite being a very heavy drinker; it was something he never wanted to do.

So, I was wondering what fellow Gransnet members had to say when n the matter.
