This was Manly beach #Australia on Christmas Day 2016 - for those from the northern climes - sunshine, BBQs and buses operating is not Christmassy #PTTravel A2

replying to @TravelAtWill @TravelAtWill oh awesome. How are the regulations? #pttravel Like, can you land and deboard or are you at sea the whole time?

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot It is called "Dampfnudeln" and "Kartoffelsuppe" something that typically isn't mixed. The first is a salty bread role (made with flour, milk and yeast) and the second is potato soup #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith My last holiday over Christmas and the New Year was in Tanzania and they didn't celebrate at all there. It was just a like a normal day. I was on a safari and because we were Westerners, the chef made us pizza to celebrate. :) #PTTravel

Anywhere there is wildlife to be encountered is good with me. Saw plenty of humpback #whales in #NewCaledonia #PTTravel A3

A4 #pttravel A TV dinner at work. That’s one thing about retirement, I’ve worked my last Christmas.

@OanaRoua #pttravel A4: I've cooked myself many things over the years, including curry, and spag bol, but the crowning achievement was the year I had cheese sandwiches.
It may have been the same year I spent Christmas day stripping wallpaper.

A4 I've once prepared some Christmas sushi with an American friend in Costa Rica #pttravel

replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua fair. I don't often do cocktails but when I do I'll have something like a Caipirinha or Mojito. #pttravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide @OanaRoua Spaghetti bolognaise, the not-entirely-genuine standard Italian dish in the UK! #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A1. I used to go to boarding school so, technically, yes, I used to fly East Midlands to Edinburgh every Christmas to spend it with my family. #PTTravel

A4 #PTTravel A beef sandwich and a sausage roll! I was on my way home from a job; the car developed a fault and it took the best part of two days to get it fixed.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @NomadKeith I think it was a vegetables pizza. #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish ooof to bording school, but yes, I guess that counts #pttravel it's certainly a 'trip', if perhaps not a 'holiday' per se.
RTWBarefoot
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith oh noes! Did you get stuck then somewhere random? #pttravel Or did you at least get a lift back from the mechanics?

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A2. A few years ago I was in Russia right up until the 23rd of December, so I missed out on all of the usual build-up. Though it was snowy, so I suppose it could have been less Christmassy. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A3. I do like the idea of a white Christmas, though weirdly I don’t clearly remember ever experiencing one. We went camping for Christmas in Australia and it just wasn’t the same. Santa still found us, though, I was delighted to discover. #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @RTWBarefoot Isn't Russia quite Christmassy? When I visited in February, Moscow and other places were still heavily decorated #PTTravel

#pttravel Q5: Do you have any 'bah humbug' things you can't stand at this time of year, that everyone else finds festive?
findinganeish
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A4. I imagine it’s whatever we had while camping, though I can’t remember exactly what it was. Barbecue? #PTTravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide @findinganeish @RTWBarefoot I think they tend to celebrate the orthodox Christmas a couple of weeks after other Christians do. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel It was an RAF car; I broke down in Moffat, and they sent a mechanic and a transporter from Leuchars! I rode back to Leuchars with them, and continued the journey when the car was fixed.

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish where were you camping? Somewhere you needed the barbecue to keep you warm? #pttravel

A5: Too many actually. That's why I usually run away somewhere warm and spend Christmas with people like me, who don't enjoy this holiday either and run away as well. I found the last 2 years very difficult. #pttravel
BPackersGuide
A5 I guess everything that feels "too much", such as heavily decorated houses with their own lightshow coordinator #pttravel

A5 #pttravel I really can’t think of anything. Whatever is going on, I just want to experience the season. Walking around NYC between Xmas and New Years.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A5. Not really. I like to convince myself I do but Christmas always wins me over in the end. I always refuse to book leave over the festive period and then regret it when it’s suddenly January and I’ve not even watched Home Alone. #PTTravel
