I thought I'd started a thread on this topic, but can't find it. So here we go again.

If you're going to be in Pattaya for Christmas, will you maintain the western traditions (stuff the turkeys hole with holly), or have a non-Western day? For years, I've gone to my brother's on Christmas Day, and to my sister on Stephen's Day/Boxing Day. This year, I've decided to stay home. I intend to buy a couple of cheap steaks at Lidl, add a few veg, and not have to be nice to anyone.

It's the first time I'll be alone at Christmas, and I'm looking forward to it. How about you? I know I'm lucky to have a choice, not everyone does.
