To think day drinking is acceptable in this situation?

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

So have the kids all day tomorrow which I am so looking forward to. However, they go to their dads on Boxing Day for the day and overnight.

I haven't had a day like this to myself where I have nothing on in so long and I'm really looking forward to it.

Planning on cracking the champagne as soon as they leave (10 am ish) is this acceptable?

Also other than eating and drinking all day could anyone recommend anything else I could get up to or any films/series I could watch?

Sorry if you can't tell I am ever so slightly excited maybe more than Christmas Day.

We're in a pandemic and it's Christmas.

Literally the only situation where day drinking wouldn't be okay is if you were about to perform open heart surgery.

Binge on Home for Christmas on Netflix, its Norwegian (but dubbed) and is very festive and funny!

Just for one day, go for it and enjoy.

It’s Christmas lass, anything goes! Enjoy!

Aww thanks for the encouragement everyone! I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Absolutely ok as long as kids are not around.

Firstly @whereismydonkey day drinking is always okay between xmas and new year. However it is ESPECIALLY okay if it's your day without the kids!

Can recommend Life in Pieces and This is Us

Yeah definitely. Alcohol, snacks, tv & I think I would fit in a little daytime snooze if I could. Sounds blissful.

This is my dream day!
The Queens Gambit on Netflix is my recommendation. 7 episode binge fest and it’s so good. Enjoy!

I'd e rude not to! Enjoy it 🥂

Sounds perfect! Mine go to their dads on 27th and I will definitely be spending a day doing the same!!

Do it do it!

Merry Christmas 🎅

What a great thread. The rule for the DW and I is usually after 7:00 in the evening, but when we went on holiday many years ago, we had a bit of a surprise. Nice village in Burgundy, we stayed in a gite. Got up one morning to go for a walk and explore and the lady who owned the gite/winery, asked us to join her for a quick glass of wine at 10:00 in the morning. Well, it would have been rude to refuse, the White Burgundy - Puligny Montrachet - was good, and two hours later we were sozzled.
I have no idea what we did the rest of the day

Christmas time is like airport time: you can eat and drink what you like when you like.

Day drinking is perfectly acceptable over Christmas- it is usually needed anyway

@andyoldlabour haha brilliant sounds like my kind of day

@Chanjer

Been drinking since 10am, will stop on 27th

Yes, yes, but which month?

We went on holiday to Lanzarote, first time on our own, made friends with a great group of people at the all inclusive resort. One day it was a bit too cloudy for sunbathing, so 15 of us settled down to play cards at about 11 am. By 1 we had set up one of the guys with a dare that if he lost he had to jump in the pool (that no one ever went in because it was freezing cold). He foolishly went to the toilet mid game. He ended up in the pool, fully clothed at which point we all staggered into lunch and then had to go for a lie down to sleep it off!

One of the best holidays we had ever had!

This sounds like heaven! Was my life pre toddler Dd 😂go for it

Entirely acceptable of you want to do it.

I’m not sure if I had a day to myself I’d want to spend it getting drunk, then having a hangover when the kids come back, though.

Why wait til they leave? Surely your breakfast orange juice could be improved with some sparkle, they'd never know!

Think its compulsory!

Totally acceptable! It’s Christmas! 🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄

Enjoy! 🥂

If I wasn't pregnant I'd be on my third glass of wine by now I reckon.
