The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
So I'm back in work - boo - and I'm bored already -
So I thought I would start a thread on how everyone's Christmas went?
Mine was quite mellow in the end - put on a meal for a couple of friends and had some drinks. Had my Brother over on boxing day (it was his birthday too) and before I knew it - I was back at work!
At least its done for another year!

I'm also back at work, also bored. Hard to find motivation in the strange hiatus between Christmas & new year, particularly when the handful of people in the office seem kind of grumpy.
I also had a meal & drinks for Christams, fancy that! Sorry, just a nice quiet family Christmas at parents.
Christmas was chaotic for us as usual. Did Christmas Eve with my Dad and his family, Christmas morning with my brother, his girlfriend, my dad, and his wife, Christmas Mid-Morning with my mother, her gentleman friend and brothers, Christmas Afternoon with the rest of my mother's extended family, then Christmas Evening with my in-laws.
Just typing that out made me sleepy all over again.
Christmas was OK, Christmas eve was awesometastic though :)
Actually, I'd never felt as Christmas as on this Christmas morning, sat on the sofa drinking coffee and eating mince pies, christmasy TV on in the corner, dog sat on my feet half asleep and little kids running about looking amazed. All in, probably the best Christmas in years ... and considering I'm a real "bah humbug" sort ... excellent.
Uneventful here...Only one of the four kids still speaks to me, so I went to his house and had a good time with he and his wife and played with the grandkids all afternoon...I got some good pictures of them opening their presents...
Spent the evening with my mother and went back to work the next day...Ben

The JDK will probably expand on the bits involving his family, however from my point of view it went a bit like this - I went up home to Derby for a few days before Christmas to visit my Mum and her boyfriend, I also visited my best friend from school and had drinks and presents with her and her family. I then drove home (luckily the day before the fog came down and caused traffic choas on the M1). We then had the Stead over for pheasant and presents on Sunday. The JDK had a stinking cold, which Stead managed to catch, and I thought I'd escaped. We then travelled down to the JDK's family for Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, where we opened many fabulous presents including a Playstation 3 . The JDK's cold went away on Boxing Day, I then took it over and I'm suffering today. I'm going into work tomorrow, but it should be an easy day as there's only one other person in, and then it's the weekend...
I think I'm going to have to build an extension for all of the baby's toys everyone went OTT on him, the little guy looked a bit shell shocked by the fifth massive bag of presents.
