I'm not really sure why but I'm not feeling the Christmas vibe atm. Usually I'm really excited by now. Is it just me?

It's the atmosphere of Christmas that excites me, not the presents.

I had a bit of an unexpected Christmas yesterday, with my side of the family all descending on me at once and it was really really nice
![]() So that's helped a lot - and I'm beginning to feel a bit better too, I still have diabetic christmas pud to make, and it's when my kitchen starts smelling festive that I really get into it! Ooh, and I never wrap LA's prezzie's until Christmas Eve night either, so that's when I get really excited.... |

We've had the argument of whose we're going to and I won but I'm regretting it now. Kind of wish it was just the 4 of us here |

I've saved a few presents to wrap on Christmas Eve too. I've got some (German, I think) wine to get tiddly on and I'll put either Christmas TOTP2 or the Gavin & Stacey Christmas episode on while I do them.

I'm trying not to let my competitive instinct kick in too much when it's my turn though

I used to love Monopoly - I do believe I played it alone a few times too! When playing as a family there was serious sibling rivalry about who got to be the dog.
I was always more of a fan of cluedo |

Oh, I loved Cluedo too. I was quite taken with Miss Scarlett. I used to think the live action tv version was great too!

I always found the rules too complicated and gave up. I still long for the day 13 Dead End Drive gets a re-release (fab boardgame- like a really camp Cluedo. Look it up, retro fans!) |

We had some serious Cluedo dramas as kids. I witnessed a brilliant family argument one time over someone hiding one of the cards
