Daniel visits a local sheltered housing scheme to see how they celebrate Christmas, and runs through some of the comic strips in his favourite ever Christmas Annual.

Daniel goes into the final week of his countdown contemplating the possibility of new Christmas memories to be created in the future, and he looks back at the Z-bed he woke up on for ten consecutive Christmases from ’89 to ’98. With PhilthD.

With Christmas Eve just over a week away, Daniel looks at where he might stand with Christmas now, while a Christmas card from his past may not be all that it seems.

Daniel recalls the ‘Lost Christmases’ of 2008 to 2013 which might’ve taken him closer to the true meaning of Christmas than any the great Christmases of his life, and he revisits the eighties Christmases when he regularly attended Midnight Mass.

Daniel returns to the hospital that helped him in Christmas 2010, and recalls the arrival of the Subbuteo Club Edition at Mayflower in Christmas ‘78, the greatest game he ever played, and how it put it him at odds with his dad.
