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.

Shit ChristmasApart from the usual family stress of who is going where on christmas day for lunch (cue threats of suicide from inlaws, a highly matriarcal family, if the whole deal is not on their terms entirely), and the stress of working myself to the verge of a nervous breakdown for my employers at such a busy time as they told me I couldnt recruit to cover my vacancies, I contracted a respiritory infection on the 21st caused by the broken ribs I sustained in a work related accident at Halloween.
I left work at lunch time on the 24th and have been signed off since then.
I have spent almost all of Christmas and New Year sleeping & felling like shit, ate next to nothing, coughed up enough lung butter to make a TB sufferer feel like a fraud, and I haven't drank anything since the 17th of Dec!
And my pressents were crap (esp Inlaws token gift)
Bastard bastard bastard!
