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.

Last year, on the morning of the 24th,'cause I'm Swedish and celebrate it on another/correct/wrong day, were sitting eating breakfast when the lit candles in the window set the thin nylon curtains which are blowing in the breeze from the open windows ablaze. The whole family leap into action and the curtains are soon torn down and flames stamped out. Said flaming curtains did fall on my brand new shoes. While everyone is standing around examining the damage, the fire alarm goes of, not because of the curtains, but because upon seeing the first flames, Mum threw the newspaper onto the table. Onto the lit candle on the table. She's getting a fire extinguisher this year.
