Yesterday for me too. Just me, mrs Styles and the kids.

Easy way round that one, turn off the mobile and disconnect the landline, works great for me.

It's a bit bah humbug, but I agree day alone, cook a nice dinner and do your own thing has a lot to recommend it, did that myself this year.

Have to agree with Cliphead, if you take the family element out of it and do your own thing it is a hell of a lot less stressful.

Mr N and I stayed in cloggers and it was pretty chilled.

I think we'll make a habit of this from now on.

Not sure I can get away with getting rid of the kids and wife for Christmas. I think they call that divorce and losing custody.
