The first year, no. Few friends as I'd left the Dubbies, I was student and most all the people I knew disappeared during Christmas. I didn't see anyone for three days I think.
Following year I had Christmas with my then-gf's family, and it was lovely. Really warm and loving. A few uninspiring Xmases since then, mostly in student days when most of my friends were back home in the vacations. A rather funny one at another x-gf where I made the cardinal mistakes of totally thrashing her entire family at Trivial Pursuit AND compunded it by beating her mum's High Score (she prided herself on being indisputed family Tetris queen) on a Tetris hand-held the first time I picked it up (blind chance more than skill). Another one at friends from Uni' after Uni meeting up at their house with a mutual acquaintence who was a fb of mine, very boozy and humourous. Then I move over here (from UK to Holland) and it's back to family CHristmas's again, which are great. I even go to Christmas Mass as my fiance likes me to.
This Christmas was the best, as I was able to give my 16 year-old daughter her first proper Christmas; seeing her face when we walked into the Chricstmas deocrations dhepartment was wonderful, and she still has her own tree up, LOL.
I had a few memorable birthdays at Uni', most years I don't get round to organsing anything but this year had quite a nice party, considerably tamer party than in Uni' days, but with family round and a fiance there's less potential for debauchery than with twenty people cramed into a student bedroom off their faces (with at least two who fancy me).
