My Christmas NightmareThe bringing together of one's family and friends over the holiday period is never quite as fun as it is supposed to be: this year, my mum and dad will be in the same room for the first time in 28 months. It should prove interesting.
Tell us about the nightmares you've had over christmas.

Five years ago... on Christmas Eve my father walked to the shops to get my mum some flowers, and was suddenly poleaxed by a massive heart attack. Got rushed to hospital and had another one on the way. It was touch and go but they saved him; the rest of us spent the next 72 hours in intensive care with the old sod. There was supposedly a lounge area for relations to rest in but it got taken over by chav scum, so we hung out in the corridor. We didn't eat for days and the kids didn't get to open their presents until about the 28th.
He's still with us - he's got Alzheimers now, bless the old bastard - but I still don't much like Christmas Eve.
