Juliaacv @Albain We were in our late 20's when this happened. He was a single man, without a girlfriend or a wife. My husband remained friends with him until that guy no longer had good enough health to work with him. He passed away in his 30's due to cancer.

Well, he might be! Why? Because our grandson, Rory (8), has devised a cunning plan to catch Santa in the act. He has set up his mobile phone in the lounge and has trained it on the seat which, for the past few years, has been...

DE @Albain Oh, wow! When I was a kid we learned at around six or seven that Santa wasn't real. It must be nice that kids can stay innocent that long there.

How frequently do you wash your hands? What about using the vacuum cleaner - daily or weekly? What about dusting and polishing? I ask because one of my wife's sisters seems to have a compulsion to clean, vacuum, polish and tidy...

Do you have family over for Christmas Dinner? Many people do. But surely an invite to dinner shouldn't come with a price tag! Well, apparently, there are some people who charge their family a fee to attend their home and tuck into...

On the first day of winter, one of the things our family does is decorate the trees outside with things that the birds can eat. The two youngest boys are working on those decorations today. The youngest made birdseed ornaments out...

Kelli M @Albain That sounds like a fun day of celebrating with family! I don't do a huge dinner for Christmas Day anymore, instead we have a huge breakfast in the morning and nibbles throughout the day. It makes it a less stressful day for me that way.

Another daughter arrives tomorrow. And as I write that lovely sentence I realise that I must now specify for reasons of clarification that my wife is not pregnant. I refer to an adult daughter flying in from Scotland to celebrate...
