Christmas is so much fun when you live in a shared house - we used to have a traditional enormous pre-Christmas feast, before everyone went home for the season. One of the blokes would cook it and we'd cram into the living room and eat until we burst. Lovely.

Sent it before and I send it again: Christmas! Fab! I've just come home from an afternoon spent eating and drinking with colleagues and laughing about weird stuff, to a lovely fully trimmed up living room. I've got about 300 white lights and a load of blue ones in the window and its lovely and cosy. Two weeks today I shall be lying on the settee, full of roast beef and gravy and roast taters and sprouts and feeling all content, like any good Hobbit should.
