    Any one out there doing field service? I have not gone out on that day in years. And have no intention of ever doing that again. We have an elder in our congreagation who started talking about service on christmas day and how he expects every one out. This was right in the middle of his talk and nothing to do with the talk. He gets really nasty every year, and demmands to know why brothers and sisters did not go out Christmas day, and does the same for new years day. Its funny since him and his wife came to our congreataion a few years ago how most of the elders now go on holiday for christmas or to visit family a long way off! Seriously! The first year he guilted a lot to go out with his continued nasty comments I asked how it had gone some said never again, some horrible, some just rolled there eyes. I asked his wife she said oh it was fantastic you really missed out.

    So what will I be doing? A nice long lay in. Soak in bath. Dinner and lots of wine at mums. An evening of TV, in my pjs. And on boxing day? A nice long walk.

    Going to an indian restaurant at lunchtime with a few friends, then back to my place for further refreshment.

    It's becoming a popular way to spend Xmas lunch here in the UK.

    Tomorrow we go away for the week to visit family. We are looking forward to going to my son's bday party on the 23rd, at cantleave's and Nugget's. On the 25th we have no firm plans, my parents are Jews, but on the 26th we are having a roast dinner for all the family.

    We used to always go on the min on Xmas day, it was nice the householders invited us in a lot and were always relaxed. The bro's and sis's that went out were the lonely ones needing company, they appreciated human contact.

    That's our Xmas hol this year.
