Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are apparently the celebrities most people would like to join them for Christmas dinner. A survey was conducted in Ozzy's home town..........

Christmas has become one of the most pathetic holidays of the year. This is the time when broken families attempt reconciliation over excessive dinners, and feed their children expensive plastic presents to supplant absent parental attention....

How different would Christmas day be if, after dinner, your dad gathered the family around the table and opened a game like ‘war on terror’ or ’serial killer: the board game’?Amazingly, this may have happened for some as all of the board games below have been / are still available to buy.

Dinner at Mama's house was the highlight of the extended family year. Her house was filled and running over with her many family members. The new brides and grooms, all the new babies, new in-laws, and family friends.

The Downtown Eastside (DTES) is the oldest neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The neighbourhood has a rich and colourful history and a strong community fabric. There are many conflicting definitions of its perimeter but it can generally be viewed as being bordered by Cambie Street to the west, Clark Drive to the east, the waterfront to the north and Venables Street/Prior Avenue to the south, with Hastings Street running down the middle of the neighbourhood. Once the core shopping district in the city, many of the retail shops that flourished through the early 1980s are now long gone. The area spent some time in limbo but presently buildings are being renewed and many new businesses are engaging the community, taking up the challenge to operate in this sometimes difficult-to-gauge neigbourhood. Used syringes and condoms on neighborhood sidewalks are becoming less common due to the efforts of United We Can a charity organization that offers local people jobs cleaning up the streets each morning. Some Graffiti decorates buildings and walls and most DTES alleys are regularly used as makeshift toilet facilities. The area is noted for high incidences of poverty, drug addiction, prostitution, some violent crime, as well as an ongoing tradition of community activism. In recent years there have been tensions between developers and members of the community relating to gentrification development proposals.
