@Steve – Sounds like a great way to spend Christmas away from family. I guess the trip to B.A. was the gift in itself 🙂

I joined a XMas Dinner organized through Couchsurfing. The mixed group with locals, expats and travelers made this xmas to one of my best even though my family was still missing in a way.
The only thing I missed was to buy myseld a nice gift 😉

@Jennifer – I did that one year when I lived in Thailand :). I think the trick is to finding new ways to celebrate.

I like your points 4 and 5 – I’ll be buying myself lots of presents this year in the form of tailor made dresses in Hoi An, Vietnam!

@Jade – I'm with you, you never remember the food years later, you remember the experiences
@Tracy – I still think having a traditional Christmas with family is my preference, but when it's not possible, sometimes it's good to do something totally different. Merry Christmas to you as well!
@NVR Guys – AND easy to make!
@eatlaughlove – it sounds like you'll be having a very memorable Christmas, I can't wait to hear about it!
@Norbert – I'm sure you'll enjoy being at home this Christmas for a change 🙂

We're having Christmas lunch for about 10 people at our place (even though we've only got six chairs.) It's going to be an Australian-Vietnamese-Indian-Japanese-English-Singaporean affair. Snorkeling in Thailand might be an option for next year, though
