Christmas that is. Mine was a nice reminder of why this day should be specifically annexed away from family so the suicide/homicide rate doesn't go up so yeah, normal.

Obviously mine wasn't so fab so yours has got to be better short of ending up recreating a fire safety PIF for real, share and unload.

It started out fine but ended in my girlfriend telling me she'd had someone else on the go.

Lovely day.

But are you still together?

I started the day off waking up to a thoroughly unwanted Christmas present - flu. I barely made it through the family dinner before I collapsed in bed around 9.

Mine was fine. Thanks for asking, Nini.

Got a new mobile phone, after FOUR years with the same one.

That particular mobile was an O2 X1i (and yes it WAS made by O2, many a time I've had to explain that it is not just on O2's network). It had a camera, but no Bluetooth, and the microphone in it had become dislodged, resulting in many 'phone calls featuring me shouting, yet sounding like whispering. So, long story short, new 'phone because the old one is old and broken.

My new one is a Nokia XpressMusic. A 5310 from Santa or Woolies.

I'd imagine that James H would've glady swapped his 'unwanted present' for yours!

I think a graph plotting christmas enjoyment against age would look something like this:

I'd agree with that though I reckon it troughs out a lot earlier, wonder why it peaks a little after 65.

I would dispute the upturn at the end.

It might be because they are happy to be alive, and to not have been stabbed or simply died of old age.
