They just seem to swap the plots alternate years .... stolen/infested xmas trees one year, stolen/infected turkeys the next.
I wonder whether they're breaking this pattern this year? |

A departing character will be able to get the first flight/train/taxi at a moments notice with no problems at all.

A christmas cracker being pulled will always reveal the true paternity of a baby

A mystery knock at the door towards the end of an episode will see the arrival of a family relative or mystery character keeping a huge secret or one of a major character. Or a mystery gift will be left on the doorstep with the postman nowhere to be seen!

Lighting brandy on a Christmas pudding will lead to hilarious/disastrous consequences.

Coronation Street's Christmas Day episode (under Phil Collinson anyway) will start with Wonderful Christmas Time...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XdeHBeGACs&= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbF3YJfPS-U&= And will seemingly also kick off in the Barlow household. |

The same people are always too broke to have a "tree with all the trimmings" yet they never think to buy a cheap artificial one and keep the decorations they can pick up cheaply at any market! Real trees cost as much as an artificial one and can't be kept for the following year!

If the day starts off great, things will turn to crap in time for Christmas Dinner.

Further to what I said earlier in this thread, I fully expect the last few minutes of this year's Eastenders Christmas episode to feature either scenes of familial celebrations or a party in the Queen Vic, with "Merry Christmas Everybody" playing over the top. There will be a shot revealing:
Spoiler
as the song ends with "We've only just beguuuuun..." |

It ways amazes me how couples are able to get married on Christmas Day. Who marries them? Aren't registrars closed, and clergymen busy with their Christmas celebrations?

Only one 'chavvy' family in the neighbourhood will have completely over-the-top Christmas lights on the outside of their house.
In the real world, nearly everyone has them these days ![]() |
