What are you doing for the festive season?

[KiwiCol]

I'll kick it off,  we're heading to Kaikoura (Peketa) camping ground, no surprises there.  We'll have most of the kids & grand kids (9) with us just after Christmas through New Year. Lots of mouths to feed, 17 - 18 each meal.
Summer down this way so they'll all be in tents with a big communal area for cooking & eating, all under canvas. We put it all up before they arrive & take it down when they go, getting bloody tiring as we age I can tell ya.
We'll have the boat, so hope the weather is kind for fishing & Cray fishing (Lobster). Three quad bikes up there too, so they get a thrashing with everyone on them for a week or so.
Really looking forward to it, lots of planning to make it all come together & it's seems to be over so quick.

So what you doing?

That sounds like a great time ahead Col. Nice to have your family around you.

So l'm going to the Wanganui Boxing Day Street races.

Sounds like a great big family get together mate 
Good on you for putting in the effort to make it happen too

As Xmas is my quiet time for work & i'm forced to take holidays. I will be doing my usual for the past 3 years or so & finishing work on fri 13th, set the bike up for a trip & head off on mon 16th for my 4 day solo ride. Before returning for the family Xmas commitments.

I was planning to head North, but due to the bush fires, I have changed plans to head South. (Now fires in the South   )
Now have a 4 day trip planned which will see me do the South Coast & Victoria. 4 x 550-600km days through some of the best roads NSW & VIC have to offer, which should turn out to be around a 2300 km trip if all goes to plan.

Sweaty, sounds a good plan to me.

[Blubber]

Not much planned for the festive season other than sleeping and eating.

I'ts the busy season at work; sheduled myself for 23 days in a row. On average i will work 10 hours a day. (We have a production plant stop so it's maintenace period for us)

This luckily only happens once a year but it is recurrent.  This will be my 22 time at this plant 


It's good for the bank account and leaves

My new job has a shut down from 19th Dec. Christmas party is Friday starting 9am @ Kingston Park Raceway, 4 races for the day, a light lunch and a social beer. 

Saturday will be Christmas day for us as my partner and I are heading to Vietnam for 10 days on the 22nd. Should be a blast. 8 million people in Saigon  Love Vietnamese food here at Inala, so will test the food in Vietnam. 

Back on the 5th then to work on the 6th
