that daylight became longer. They celebrate with a lot eating and drinking and that tradition became
embedded in Xmas. With Eastern it was the same, the pagans celebrate that spring arrived and they had some rituals like eating a lot of eggs (fertility symbol) and big bonfires. I grow up with that, and they
still do it in the north-eastern and eastern part of my home country.

Visiting two mates at an un named airport who have been gifted Xmas and New Year duty away from their families thanks to the Crawley 2 drone operators.

Christmas Eve - feel free to join us for Bloody Mary oyster shots at Oscar’s on the corner (Downstairs bar), after dinner, 9pm ish.
We are going to Digby’s for dinner on Tuesday - I invited all my friends who will be on their own.

I'm in Kampot and might go with the staff at this hostel on a boat journey, thank you for extending your invite though!

Drat! That looks appealing.
While I’m not a massive fan about Christmas, I did enjoy a decent meal and chatter. For the last few years bar one, I have been working Christmas. I think I need to be a bit more sociable in PP. After this year’s fiasco, I think I’ll leave it up to the new starters to work future Christmas schedules, and hide out among the ‘normal’ people.

Feel free to join us Freightdog, 7pm Tuesday.

Re: Whats everyone up to on Xmas Day.
If only I could. I’m back in Europe until late January, then get back for 3 weeks. It’s the longest stint back here since May, and time is going so slowly. Having expected to be hiding away in a hotel at the company’s expense, I’ve found myself free for Christmas, and have spent a week trying to find somewhere to go. Back to work on Boxing Day, and hoping all the Gatwick fiasco is over.
