Who will be switching on their computer on Christmas Day?

Quilty in our house! Although I think the main purpose will be to use Skype for catching up with some distant family members.
But if tv starts to bore, I'm sure there will be the odd moment searching around to see if anything interesting is happening in the wider world. I suppose it's not so very many years ago that traditional families were lamenting the arrival of that new fangled television in the corner of the room which was blamed for the downfall of traditional singing of songs around the family piano, but now everybody seems to spend their Christmas Day afternoon and evening slouched in front of it. An example of how technology changes habits I suppose. But I shall definitely not be trawling the internet sales on Christmas Day!
