    I used to love Christmas, but I've hated it ever since I got married. Hope everyone has a wonderful time and the coming year is one to remember, unlike the current one.

    All the best to all and their families and loved ones.

    Cheers.

    As soon as this is all over and we can return in numbers, I intend to attempt to organise a huge pre match piss up for as many on here as possible mate. Will be great fun.

    It's funny you should say that. Last year was the first year our two didn't have a "stocking" felt strange not watching them unpack them, it's amazing how much tat you can fit in a stocking along with the obligatory Apple, Orange, Nuts, Coins and sweets
    Oh and by the way my two are 27 and 20 and we've agreed they are getting a stocking this year :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    It was always whisky, mince pie and a carrot in our house
    I had it on good authority that Santa wasn't partial to sherry :emoticon-0100-smile

    I don't personally as it means that you get nice well done end bits for those who like it that way and normal most bits for everyone else.

    I get a 1/4 leg with as little bone in as possible (lower quarter) as ****ed if i'm paying by the kilo for bone :emoticon-0105-wink:

    If I didn’t live on the other side of the world mate I’d be on the list and we could swap proper war stories all night.

    Nice tree mrs em, just noticed the Celef speaker hiding behind in the corner. I used to have a pair of PE1s a long time ago, sometimes you sell something then regret it years later.

    A Christmas stocking isn't just for the bairns, it's for life!

    Best Christmas advice I could ever give any new parent, and this after one very long Christmas Eve - get a duplicate stocking for the bairn!

    I do one for Mrs Draig, she does mine and we both contribute to our 19 yo son's and one for my eldest sister who has been on her own for a few years.

    Apple, choc orange, some silly stuff, sweets n chocs, some useful stuff, scratch card and an alcoholic miniature for that first nip of the day.

    Helps get Christmas day started off right!
