They were horrified at this flouting of the rules. It lasted one year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810613774457180960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-82154090279098147572011-12-10T12:53:19.571+00:002011-12-10T12:53:19.571+00:00This will be the first Christmas that the GLW and ...This will be the first Christmas that the GLW and I will be spending without The Number One Son; we've been invited out on 'the' day and we've got friends coming to us on Boxing Day. So I guess the Whiskey Focus Group' will be holding an extraordinary meeting and that gifts will be opened in a more ad hoc fashion.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-69980207762155397612011-12-09T19:41:43.254+00:002011-12-09T19:41:43.254+00:00Can't say I ever did that as a student and nei...Can't say I ever did that as a student and neither did my children.<br /><br />We just assumed, correctly, that life at home would continue in the same old way.petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988347024466013018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-86027479187040726662011-12-09T14:38:10.104+00:002011-12-09T14:38:10.104+00:00One Christmas when I was younger I was spending it...One Christmas when I was younger I was spending it with my girlfriend at the time and her family. My sister was spending Christmas with her boyfriend and their new baby. So my parents were spending it together without guests or children for the first time ever. <br /><br />I spoke to my mum on Christmas Eve, and I can remember being horrified that they were having curry on Christmas Day. Because, so my mum told me with more than a trace of parental jealousy/bitterness, 'neither of our children can be bothered to spend Christmas with us this year I can't be bothered cooking a full Christmas Dinner.'Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163017415448622471noreply@blogger.com
