My first Christmas


We don't get to remember our first christmas, we probably get presents but they are alsmost certainly stuff a baby needs but does not want (nappies, booties, warm milk etc). Anyway I don't know if we even had a TV or not but this is what I missed, oh and don't try scrolling down to find ITV, Cannel 4 or the other 200+ channels, this was it...
