Six people not enough to make a good Christmas for you?

Don't worry, help is at hand..

Kill your own turkey and invite thirty people to the funeral.

What I would really like is a better quality of life with less fighting for correct services/education/appropriate housing and support for people with disabilities...and just the chance to live a normal life like other people where you have time off/weekends away/holidays...just normal things that ...
