Drive thru Mcds on Christmas Day

[Rememberwheneveryoneusedtosaywhatsuppp]

It would be bad to do this…wouldn’t it..?

We live abroad and aren’t back to the U.K. to family this year, quite happy to be at home (Dh, Dd, 4 and dog)
Not really fussed about Christmas dinner, we don’t love it that much.
How bad would it be to get a drive through McDonald’s and eat it at the beach? 🙈We’d still have lovely buffet type favourite foods for Xmas Eve, plus a nice breakfast and all our favourite chocs & cheese & biscuits…we just wouldn’t have the main meal 😬I feel like if we did, we’d have to keep it secret and not tell our families, who would be outraged 🤣

Do whatever you want on Christmas Day, why would it be ‘bad’? And why care what other people think?

Bugger all to do with anyone else what you do.
You fill your boots.

Its your Christmas dinner- not mine.

You are adults, you don't have to keep your dinner secret, equally i don't know why you feel you would have to tell anyone about it.

First I read it wrong and though you said you are back to the UK, and I wondered if UK mcdonalds are open on Christmas Day, and why you thought eating on a British beach in December would be anything but cold and miserable. Then I realised you aren't back, and assuming your beach isn't fucking freezing, there isn't a problem with your plan.

I mean just if they asked..my mum will probably ask if I’m doing Turkey or beef etc..it just feels so wrong, like you can’t not have a Christmas dinner 😬

If you like cold McDonalds then it’s a good plan.

@MyKidsAreKnobsInDecember (Great username 😂) I’m hoping it is open on Xmas day..perhaps it’s not, oh bollocks

'Beef' this year mum, maybe some chicken too

Is it open?

if it is then you are not the only ones doing it.

Just say turkey because you will probably have some in your buffet anyway. You are too old to care about what your mum thinks of your food choices!

We’ve never had a ‘Christmas dinner’. Never had McDonald’s on Christmas Day as I don’t like it, but we just cook whatever we fancy on that day. Don’t think anyone has ever judged us for it!

Actually saying beef makes more sense because of the burgers 🤦‍♀️

Most will be shut on Christmas Day unless at services or similar so you may want to check.

Being somewhere warm at Christmas (assuming from the beach reference) throws all Christmas norms out the window - so go for it!

Go for it.

It's the one day we do what we want and ignore so called tradition when it comes to food.

We go out for a curry with friends. Last couple of years Family have joined us and really enjoyed it!

We had spaghetti hoops on toast once. Partly for convenience as we had other things happening but also because the DC would reliably eat it.

The sky didn't fall in. Neither will it if you go to Macdonalds. Who could possibly care what someone else eats on any given day?

You have experience of McDonald’s in multiple countries to make this assessment? Or did you not bother to read the fact the OP isn’t in the UK

Can’t seem to get the info but have a feeling it must be closed on Christmas Day..surely?!
Ahh there goes that plan! Now what to have 🤷🏻‍♀️

Picnic on the beach surely

Even In the UK quite a few are open Christmas Day, you might be able to find one wherever you are

@SavingKitten Possibly…it depends on the weather tbh, not hot this time of year, but might be sunny and ok…that could work 🤔

If it's open will depend on area, though even in the UK we've found the number of takeaways open on the 25th growing each year so it wouldn't surprise if it is open if you're not in a very devout area. We get takeaway each year, we've had a few rude people who think it's 'sad' to have pizza on Christmas, but it works for us.

We live don main land Europe for several years. And I can assure everyone this is a low end as it would be in the uk, having a maccy d’s for crimbo dinner. No one would think as it’s not uk it’s in some way less low end.

but if it makes you all happy, crack on.

@Penaltyshootoutfan Eh?

What on earth does ‘low end’ mean? 😂.
People can eat what they want, when they want. If they want to eat McDonald’s on the beach on Christmas Day then what’s the problem? It doesn’t appeal to me, but that’s fine. Stuffing my face with Turkey then snoozing all afternoon in front on the TV doesn’t appeal to me either, but apparently lots of people do that 🤷🏻‍♀️
