Devil's Playground
by kyria inhas anyone seen the documentary "devil's playground"?
i highly recommend it.

First Christmas
by yxl1 inwhen we first left the dubs, we celebrated x-mas pretty much straight away, but had no decorations or tree, and only gave gifts to each other.

we decided to put up decorations when it was my daughters 1st x-mas, and have never looked back.
