Everyone's returned to their home town for the holidays - of course, some never even left - but family (or whoever) can wait til tomorrow. Tonight is about reunion, reliving your youth and regaling one another with tales of Christmas past, life at present, and confessions of what you did last summer ;) Come sit around the fire, pull up a chair, grab a drink and join the conversation.
