*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

Own_My_Own

Hello and welcome to the 3rd Christmas Chatter Thread.

This thread is not just about Christmas, but our whole year. We have had many ups and downs, deaths and births but we have all made it through to the end of the last thread and Christmas 2013.

NOTE- For all new people please please don't lurk, join in. We are all a little mad, but not dangerous.

The following posts will be made up of all the links saved from last year with new ones added as we go.
This will hopefully make it easier in October when we are all looking for them.

Please let me know if any become out of date or you would like your birthday added to the list
