I don't know if there's any one who could help me for Christmas Day.
As usual we are having our large family round for Christmas with the usual turkey, pudding, pies etc which we always enjoy, especially now we have grandchildren.
I was wondering if anyone knows someone local who might be expecting to spend christmas alone with no friends or relatives calling by?
We are two dining chairs short. We need them just for the day and can collect. Thanks.

I hate Christmas.
Work all hours to pay for expensive presents for the kids and some fat b*stard with a beard gets all the credit.
Still, it's my fault for marrying her.

Was that from a Christmas cracker?

Top Tip - if you’re feeling unsociable over the next few days you can shout “don’t come in here, I’m wrapping Christmas presents” and people will leave you alone.

Still making my mind up.

Last Christmas I was given a jar of cherries in brandy.
I was grateful not just for the cherries, but for the spirit in which it was given.

"Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you..." Well, I mean, you do your best for the environment by buying solar panels for your eco-friendly mode of transport and then this happens:
