Twas indeed a wonderful post. DH doesn't do anything apart from sit & eat/fall asleep/watch tv. And as for midnight mass, phhhh, forget it. However, this year I have my little ds who will be 3 months old. And I intend to have a 'Christmas from the M&S catalogue'. So will not run around in tatty nightie on Xmas morning. Will not have TV on. Will not get pissed by noon. Will have a holly wreath on front door. Will get wrapping paper from a reputable shop and not the pound shop.
