In Dutch we have first and second Christmas Day, not Christmas Day and Boxing Day. This means we can also have zeroth and third Christmas Day.
6:45: Awake early
10:00: breakfast: done
10:15: beer and booze: in the fridge, chocolate: on the table. Christmas dinner is a success already.
12:00: brother arrived, with his girlfriend and the groceries for the dinner
14:00: lasagna lunch
15:00: turkey is done, now time to get the pants I bought on Saturday
15:30: turkey in the oven, will stay there for the next few hours
16:00: glass of wine
17:00: turkey looks good
18:00: turkey looks even better, doing some dish washing
18:30: melon with Parma ham
19:00: cutting the turkey, it looks beautiful
19:15: and it tastes quite well as well
19:30: our plates look like a war zone: bones, red (cranberry) sauce and just general chaos
20:30: oops, while cleaning the dishes earlier, we accidentally threw away most preparations for the desert: egg white (unbeaten) and citron zest. The seed for a family feud is planted. Separating some more eggs
21:30: yay for kitchen improvisation, pity about the meringue on the citron-meringue-cake
22:30: coffee with some liquor and a chocolate
23:30: knock-out in bed
