Mac's Xmas Webpages

From here you can find your way to Mac's Xmas pages.

I started in about 2000 - I think.  One page using my ISP's own web publishing software.  This page is - lost to history.

In 2001 I used the Frontpage software probably for the first time.  Here you can witness my correspondence in the pages of the Daily Telegraph with Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, over his tie.

In 2002.....I don't know what happened in 2002.  I have a suspicion I just didn't publish one.  How extraordinarily lazy.

In 2003 we had the sad news that Santa had passed away.

In 2004 I went to Justin and Ashleys wedding and Eleanor Evans's 40th Birthday party - and pictures started to arrive.

In 2005 I went to some very wet Barbecues - and started drinking at the Old Mill.  I also obtained a Digital Camera - bought for me by the Company I work for as part of a long service award.  Very kind of.....I can't remember their name - it's on the tip of my tongue.... No.  It's gone! 

In 2006 I went to even more Barbeques and it didn't rain!  I changed to varifocal lenses - a sign of the onset of middle age.  And I rescued a youth from drowning, earning his eternal gratitude!  (Well actually - I didn't - but it sounds better.)

In 2007 I played lots of Golf.  Noddy Holder and Richard Ives visited.   Otherwise I largely forgot things.

In 2008....well...do I have to say what happened in 2008? 

In 2009 I pleaded with you not to watch Shaun the Sheep playing Golf.

In 2010 I gave you a month by month account of my year and showed you a video taken every day of the year that made some people sea sick.

In 2011 I got very worried about car headlights, but decided that vagueness would answer most questions.

In 2012 I invented a new language.  Like many famous languages, this one is now dead.

In 2013 I thought I was going to be night watchman.  And I tried out as Santa.

In 2014 I was told to go and sit in the hut and look after the Car Park.

In 2015 I left work!  And you had to help me tell the three people who didn't know.

In 2016 I found that vacancy of mind and Rupert cartoons were better than work.

In 2017 I found out what Christmas Cards were for.

In 2018 I took a picture.  Then another picture....

In 2019 I helped my Mother use up most of the NHS budget for the last 13 years.

In 2020 I decided it was time for action!  And I designed a self improvement plan!  (Which I then ignored.)

In 2021 I had just spent much too much time thinking about it all.  And promised not to think about it at all next year.

In 2022 Google followed me around all year.

In 2023 I met a Lady.  (Well - I didn't actually meet her in 2023 but...)
