"Does anybody get round to watching TV on Christmas Day?

Yes - it's about the only day of the year that Mrs Backwoodsperson and I get to sit around, slob-out, and watch telly together. Far too much to do to waste our lives with our heads stuck in the box during the rest of the year but, presents opened, dog walked, In-Laws visited, Christmas Dinner cooked and eaten, dish-washer loaded and fired up, Queen's Speech carefully avoided, it's time for the telly - pretty much continuous box-watching from around 4pm until bedtime (with a break for turkey sandwiches and trifle).

Kids grown, flown the nest, and Christmassing elsewhere with their mum, no grandkids (thank goodness for that small mercy!), Christmas Day is our day, to spend together with our only family - Baxter the Border Terrier - brains in screensaver mode, and gazing at the one-eyed god in the corner.

Bring it on! ;-)
