replying to @RTWBarefoot #pttravel A5: I hate mulled wine! I don't understand the concept. For me, alcohol shouldn't be served warm anyways! I'm also not fond of putting a load of things in it that under normal circumstances don't belong in it!

RT @findinganeish: @RTWBarefoot A3. I do like the idea of a white Christmas, though weirdly I don’t clearly remember ever experiencing one.…

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph @findinganeish @RTWBarefoot Right 🤔 I had totally forgotten about that #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I think it was Jarvis Bay. I’m pretty sure we woke up to dolphins swimming just off shore. One of them might even have had a red nose. #PTTravel

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph @BPackersGuide @RTWBarefoot They do, yeah. They were only starting to gear up for New Year at that point. I tracked down some beautiful Christmas cards, though. #PTTravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide near where I used to live was a house whose annual decorations were so ... intense, people used them as a direction signpost when describing how to get to places! #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot 😨😢 But I have to say. The mulled wine in the UK rather tastes like the children's non-alcoholic version in Germany and is way too sweet #PTTravel

Christmas decorations at any time before December brings out the humbug in me. Although I made an exception for this lovely little store in #Rothenburg #Germany in the spring #PTTravel A5

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide @RTWBarefoot Yeah, but they celebrate Christmas after New Year so it hasn’t kicked in when I was there. Also, it was pretty remote so it would have been much quainter than Moscow. #PTTravel

@sumarumi haha ooof :( #pttravel
I've not spent a Christmas with my family for ages, but that's more because both parts of it (I have a small family anyway) are ... boring af!

replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua aww, that's sad to hear, but I hope you get what you need from your times away. #pttravel self-care is truly important

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph Oh yes. and the Christmas candy that you can buy in supermarkets already in September 🙄 #PTTravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide @RTWBarefoot I had mulled wine in Dresden, Germany. I don’t know what was in that drink, but I remember after just one, I had to go lie down for a while. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I just wish I could go away again this year. :( #PTTravel

replying to @BPackersGuide @BPackersGuide that's fair. I've never had it outside the UK, but mainly because again, warm alcohol just isn't in my consciousness lol. #pttravel

A5 #pttravel The way some choirs perform carols in a dismal drone. Just heard one murder 'In Dulce Jubilo' ... made it sound like the slow march of the Graves Registration Corps!
RTWBarefoot
replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua booo. I'm sure you'll find a way to make the most of what you can do though. #pttravel
RTWBarefoot
#pttravel And finally ...
Q6: Where would you go over the holiday period if you wanted to avoid it completely?
RTWBarefoot
replying to @NomadKeith
@NomadKeith "Bouvet Island" LOL, I mean, that'd be certainly 'getting away from it all.
@vickyinglis13 is on South Georgia, close enough I guess! #pttravel

replying to @sumarumi @sumarumi friends are really important. Mine all live on the internet, but I'm still glad to have them around #pttravel

RT @BPackersGuide: A6 I would stay in a cabin on a cliff or in a deep and dark forest #pttravel https://t.co/RcWi5eGilO

A6 #pttravel I don’t know. I saw posts about places in Africa. That might be one place you can go. I suppose you could go to a communist country like mainland China or Vietnam. You probably wouldn’t see any sign of Xmas there.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot A6. I wouldn’t want to avoid it completely, though I do dream of one day being snowed into a cabin somewhere in Connecticut, cut off from the outside world, and just watching Christmas movies and getting merry on mulled wine all week. #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish
@findinganeish I mean, there's probably a movie about that very thing.
It also probably doesn't end well, but at least it's not in Maine. #pttravel

I have to leave for dinner. I was nice learning about new cocktails and ways to escape Christmas #pttravel
aok_NW
replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua Interesting, not a place I would think of that would observe Xmas. #PTTravel
RTWBarefoot
#pttravel Thank you all for that great chat! The boss is back next week with I believe a more optimistic chat on Christmas.
Till then, don't get too drunk, and if you're feeling off colour, keep on getting better.
