True 
Christmas day is accused of being a major contributor in getting fat. They reckon the average person puts on weight over xmas and 2lbs of that they dont shift... add that up over 5 or 10 years

I have to disagree Nutter.........Boxing day was the day that the more affluent gave "Boxes" to people like me

Fact. In my house I always wake up before the boy because I am always so excited to see his face when he gets his presents.
Another True Fact, both me and Mr Cinds have been known to dash across the landing to tap on the boys door in the hope it will wake him on Christmas morning.
