The key is remembering that Christmas isn't about you, it's about family and friends around you. I've not been home for Christmas since 2008 and it's been brilliant so far.
Between being burgled last night, my long term girlfriend leaving me without warning 2 days before my birthday, an intense series of exams for my masters program and Barnsley consistently ruining my weekends December 2015 has been the worst month of my life..... Merry Christmas all I sincerely hope you're having a better time than I!
