Welcome
to Day Eleven of Blogmas 2022
Today,
I’ve teamed up with the Chief Executive of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and
Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW); James Duncan to bring you a bit of insight
into his Christmas…
Do
you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Yes loads. I used to always go for a pint (or two) in Sunderland
but that is long behind me. Now it’s a long walk with my wife and the dogs, a
Chinese with the family, starting Christmas dinner prep and sort of helping
fill the living room with presents
Who
will you be spending this year’s Christmas with?
Morning with Dena and the boys, then with my brother and sister and their families. I’m on dinner duty this year
What
time do you get up on Christmas Day? Is that for a particular reason?
Early-walk the dogs before everyone is up. Boys used to be up early,
but those days are long gone
What’s
for breakfast?
Usually not much for me-too much eating to come later in the day
When
do you open presents?
First thing when everyone is up
What
has been your favourite gift of all-time?
A leather coat I got from Dena about 25 years ago which still
looks perfect, and I still wear loads
What
has been the most favourite gift you’ve given someone else?
I love giving gifts – I think I definitely enjoy it more than the
person getting the present
Did
you ask for anything this year? If so, what?
I’ve asked not to have anything.
Do
you wear anything special on Christmas Day?
Sadly, a Christmas jumper until it’s too hot-usually not long for
me
What
time is Christmas Dinner (you can use your own definition for this)?
Sadly, a Christmas jumper until it’s too hot-usually not long for
me
What’s
your favourite food and drink on Christmas Day?
I love it all-full works
Four things you do between 1pm
and 6pm:
1.
Eat
2.
Drink
3.
Talk
4.
Laugh
Do
you watch TV on Christmas Day? If so, anything in particular?
Not really
What’s
your favourite festive movie?
The Nightmare Before Christmas…
or the Polar Express… or It’s A Wonderful Life
How
do you spend your evening and night?
Probably
play a game and fall asleep
Thank you so much for sharing your Christmas with
I’m NOT Disordered’s readers!
We all wish you a very Merry Christmas
this year!!
