Pleasantly half pissed. Getting my arse kicked at Scrabble by the missus and the nippers. 
 

Boy from Halliwell batting way out of his league. 
 

Have fun you feckers. Looking forward to tomorrow with my own.

Ate all my dinner.

Unlike the rest.

Visited the f-i-l in the "isolation" (aka flu) ward.

Room felt like it was covered in lava.

3 others in there too, they were all rough as fuck.

Thank fuck it's all over.

Enjoyed the new Wallace and Gromit film, though maybe not quite as good as previous ones.

That's some carrot.

without a doubt my favourite Christmas 

Little one was bouncing in our bedroom at 6:30am 

Mince pie was inspected, big fella had seen it off so we knew he'd been 

Watching her face was priceless 

Popped in the local for an hour 

Cooked for 5 

Popped my parents for a couple of hours 

Now back home, she's crashed out so it's a bottle of red and Gavin and Stacey for me and the missus 

PS. Highly recommend Bolton Panto, it's ace 

Marry Christmas, now get the darts back on

😁I knew there was a good reason

Staying here for 2 weeks, middle of nowhere in Queensland. 3 days in and it's bliss. Xmas dinner was Venison rack and a glass of Napa Valley red. 

Merry Christmas.

"Gursky" image of Sandilands Beach at Sutton on Sea at 2pm on Christmas Day... I was sat there playing cat and mouse with a seal who kept bobbing his head up and looking at me... better than the MIL staring at me across some dry turkey and over slated gravy and sprouts.

Probably the best Christmas ever

Who do you have handcuffed to the washing line?

Very steady (boring tbh) day here, only me the missus and her mum. Although kids and partners did pop if for a bit this morning.

Me and the missus would happily knock it on the head and go for a curry, but her mum won’t eat Aishhan (as she pronounces it) food. 
 

Got games and left overs night tomorrow after the game. Hope a certain football club does not ruin tomorrow for us 😂😎

Gavin and Stacey. Absolute brilliance.

Opinions. One of my grandsons (currently) won't eat anything green. I won't watch anything Welsh.

It was great, and lovely to have something to watch for all the family on Christmas day.

If folk only watched things by people who were a bit difficult, then you'd never watch anything.

As a series it's a genius bit of writing.

It's quite simple really, I do not like James Corden (personal choice) so I will not watch anything with him in it, I watch loads of stuff in which I don't like someone but my viewing isn't spoiled

[Jol_BWFC]

I see it had the biggest Christmas Day TV audience in over 10 years. More than 12 million people watched it yesterday.

I really enjoyed it. I don’t really like Corden but he’s very good in G&S.

The beauty of G&S is that it isn't all really focused on any one character; it's littered with decent roles. Gavin, Stacey, Pam, Mick, Smithy, Ness, Bryn etc all play a huge part.

The writing is/was excellent even if we all knew what would happen at the end.

It was ace that last night.

We've often seen Xmas specials of other shows be a bit forced and crap.

Royal Family and Only Fools spring to mind, they seemed to lose what was special about the originals.

That last night captured it all for me. Was absolutely perfect. Poignant, funny and just nice watching.
