Hiya all,

I've not made a thread in a few days - getting serious withdrawal :D so it's time for some pleasant stories from you all. Please write a short stories of your favorite Christmas. Things to consider relating within your story:

- what was special about it?
- what happened?
- did someone make it special?
- what Christmas presents did you get or and receive?
- where were located; were you on holiday, at home or staying with friends/family?
- was any substances consumed n what?
- did you have christmas dinner n was it traditional turkey or something different?
- what was the weather like? Was it a proper white christmas or the usual rainy one?
- how long was it special? ie the whole Christmas period / Christmas Day / christ eve etc.
- were you wealthy, poor or in between n do you consider money to be a factor in how special Christmas was? For instance money was a factor for my Nain n Taid in that they were not very well off yet my Nain said this is what made them happy because, although she was poor in monetry terms; she was wealthy in the love n companionship of a big family n health.

I remember when I was 8 or 9 pestering my mum all year round for a sledge for Xmas as we lived next to some really steep hills and it always seemed to snow around xmas time in the North East....

Fast forward to Xmas day and I got my sledge but it didn't snow again for another 4 or 5years......fucking typical
