We dread Christmas as my 90 year old Dad refuses to tolerate "noise" (of our grandchildren) and "car travel" (to visit said families). We have had the same routine for 20 years - just the three of us. However this year we have rebelled, Husband and I have booked into the local pub where there will be plenty of food, drink and party games - yipee!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596425511240774220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-32143083348324009102008-12-07T18:48:00.000+00:002008-12-07T18:48:00.000+00:00Ouch attacked by a Christmas tree! :)Why do major ...Ouch attacked by a Christmas tree! :)<BR/><BR/>Why do major appliances break down at the most expensive time of year?Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.com
