I'm seriously considering not 'doing' Xmas and concentrating on helping doing something positive in this world, rather than exchanging stuff I don't need with other people. Is there a homeless shelter/something similar open on Xmas Day / Boxing Day? |

What a kind and loving thought. There might be a Salvation Army or similar in your area doing something for others at Christmas. Generally they appreciate help. |

Its a great idea. My sister and I, and my son, who comes up from Southampton , cook a Christmas dinner for the Salvation Army on Christmas Day . Last year there were about 35 people-this year there may be more. The meal is fantastic- as good as any hotel. Anyone can come for a meal. we have been doing this for 4 years and my sister for many years. You will need to phone up soon as they like to know beforehand how many helpers they are getting. Only so many -us and a helper are allowed in the kitchen-(elfunsafty) but there are other things to do like serving the meals to the tables etc. |

Well done, Cathidaw, it restores my faith in people. What a pity that we have this sad, useless group of humanity intent on enforcing the Health & Safety rubbish, to the detriment of those in need. But that's a whole new debate! Happy New Year. |

hi. This year we had around 40 people. One man came when the meal had finished , he'd seen it in the paper and turned up late but he still got his meal. My sister organises it and she is like a sergeant major in the kitchen and we usually do as she says. It works well. It has to, in a small kitchen. There were a lot of helpers and quite a few mid teenagers too which was good to see. I agree that elfunsafty rules has gone too far. Mostly it is just common sense |
