We're all guilty of that in here methinks, it's what makes it do much fun.

Paul I always thought you were 21!!

The vast majority of us are 36-49!

I wonder if there's a correlation between our stage of life and our undying love for all things Christmas nostalgia???

Life starts to get a bit more 'serious' the older you get, you spend more and more time worrying about work, bills, kids etc that I think you need more escapism. I definitely daydream more then I use to and find this forum a great way to forget about things for a bit and remember some of the happiest times of my childhood. To share that with like minded people is a Brucey bonus

I'm very guilty of this. Have found working in isolation the last few weeks I've managed to get a huge amount of work done but in between have been delving into older threads here as a way to pick up the spirits etc. There's other christmas website I look at also and have to admit I've been looking in on these way more at the moment than I normally would at this time of year. I reckon this just reinforces that Christmas is my go-to subject when in need of a boost or to soften a low point etc.

I believe we all become a bit 'ageless' at Christmas, it's brings out the inner child that is hiding in all of us

Hello Everyone, this is my first official post on Boards! Hope ye don't mind if I join the conversation, I'm 31. I've been a lurker around here for a while (creepy!). Fun Christmas fact about me, I used to be an elf in a Santa's grotto back in my college days. I loved it, loved it again when I found the Elf slippers in Penneys last year (they jingle!), brought me right back to the fun I had working there. So, anyway, hi!! (^^)
