I just muddle along, trying to do my best for folk as and when. It doesn't have to be just at Christmas time. Losing people close to you makes you realise that life's short, so you might as well do the best with it in the time you have.
I'd never do that. My family come before anything else, and I'm fortunate enough to have some fab friends, but i also try to do my best for those who're not so fortunate.
