I did originally think I would list the things I hate about Christmas but then realised I would appear much too Scrooge-like so I will desist.
Happy Christmas to you all. May the love and peace of Jesus be with you all this Christmas time.

I love your list! Adam and Robert are obsessed with Dr. Who. I would just like to crack nuts, bake cookies, and walk on the beach with you :-)
