    Well, I am now no longer spending Xmas alone. I'm going to stay with a friend who also dislikes Xmas. We can be grumps together. Whilst I am there, I shall also see my parents and partake in family board games.

    How did you manage to stop getting card for 5 years? It's the last plague of Christmas I haven't managed to excise yet!
