Christmas day is all about family. However, boxing day is all about taking that new game your nephew got and setting a high score that will be difficult for him to beat

Idea for a Christmas film: close knit family have one of the children's partners over for the first time (a la Family Stone) and the partner wins, say, £250k on a scratchcard, but panics, says they lost. The family find out, lots of fun arguing, trying to steal the winning scratchcard etc

Just saw the trailer for The Rip. Looks great but only on Netflix :/ I want to see a Matt Damon and Ben Affleck (and Kyle Chandler!) film in the cinema FFS!

What percentage of Scottish men aged 20-45 are waking up to a gift with a representation of the McTominay overhead kick. A statistically significant portion imo

Traditional Christmas morning in our household. Me and my mum cannot enter the living room yet as my dad needs complete silence to watch the season finale of Pluribus

Funny seeing people moan about the new Avatar. Fair enough they're not for everyone (I think they're really good, Way of Water is GREAT) but if you're going to the third one, 15 years in, and you're moaning about the characters or the runtime, I feel like that's a you problem. Just don't watch it?

Christmas is a dangerous time, as people will try and steal your best bags for life. However Christmas is also a wonderful opportunity. To steal other people's best bags for life.

Yknow that way your mum sends you job vacancies & opportunities that you are absolutely not qualified for but she says 'worst they can say is no'. I believe that's what Romesh Ranganathan's mum does but he actually applies and gets them all

Can any women who were teenagers in 2007 confirm if they fancied Hugh Laurie, because Seventeen magazine seemed to think you did

Upton spent Christmas morning sobbing with a senior colleague, who put her in her car home. She complained about Peggie’s conduct, and Peggie was suspended for 3 months. Peggie sued – and for the following two years, the woman she harassed was put through the media wringer.
