The Guest household is a magical land flowing with turkey and wine. Christmas Day and Boxing Day were crammed full of serious frivolity. People were eating, drinking and dancing to (heaven forbid, don't tell the church elders!) Rock 'n' Roll.
Here's the lowdown on how the Guest-atrons celebrate the Yuletide season...
Christmas Eve: Go to an Olde Worlde pub and drink lots of yummy ale. Walk home, eat pork sandwiches on arrival. Sleep. What a fine tradition!
'The Stump'
(no I don't mean you Mathew, I mean the name of the pub!)
Kath and the Bott-atron laughing...wait...are they pointing at me?!
The combination of Christmas spirit and the snow's white canvas were alive with practical-joke possibilities. Adam and I teamed up and created this classic 'giant bird in the back garden' prank. We are geniuses! But Adam got mad because I couldn't keep it a secret. Clearly, Adam is unfamiliar with my inability to keep quiet...
Sheer brilliance!
Christmas Day: Banana woke up at approximately 08:35hours as she had heard unsubstantiated reports from a certain scientist, Mr Bott, that The Muppet Christmas Carol was going to be broadcast at 8.50am. Everything I'd heard was true; The Muppet Christmas Carol was indeed on. I dragged my duvet downstairs and Dr Guest, Dan and I partook in the magical spectacle of little, felt, hand-puppets telling a tale of hope, of love and of Christmas spirit...
We then proceeded to open presents (under the strict eye of Momma Guest, she operates a strict present-opening regime (no opening presents all at once!)), gobble some turkey (gosh, I do love turkey), drink wine and, to send the day off with a bang, we used Banana's trademark celebration device: FIREWORKS!!!
Catherine Wheel: wooooooosh!
That little blue light is from Dan's head torch. He's a firework pro!
I then opened the best Christmas present known to man, tickets to see Bon Jovi!!! Oh yeah! I fell in love with them when I was 11. They are the Banana equivalent of a silly boy band. Oh, how I love them.
The night wore on and the time for beddy-bies arrived and Mathew went to bed with his two new friends:

Boxing Day: More wine, more turkey, more fun!!! Plus dancing and a game of GIANT cards (no joke).
John Guest, our resident DJ
'Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight!'
Penny in the pot, penny on a card
Yep, they are that big. A4 to be precise.
We ended the night with a celebration of the past and found these killer photos of Mathew and his family, all for your enjoyment ;)
Dr Guest...before the PhD...and puberty.
The Guest-atron, Dan, Momma Guest and Adam.
Lady Killer on the loose. Watch out.
Peace on Earth, homies. Stay warm!
