What with @oohaahmortimer IBS explosion in 2018 and @sillav nitram vow of silence last year, you'd have thought we'd have learnt our lesson inviting 'non=staff' to the Xmas Do at CL Towers. But this year was to be over Zoom. What harm could @DaveMehmet possibly do over Zoom?
Quite a lot it would seem...
It started to go downhill when he 'stepped away to get a drink'. Out of shot, he put his microphone next to a portable fart machine and every time poor @aliwibble fidgeted in her seat, Mehmet would press the button unleashing a massive bum yodel. Growing more confident, he then started experimenting with different backgrounds, settling on a scene from a 1970s porno. I'm a Celebrity may not have made it into the bush this year, but the CL Xmas Do certainly did. His disgusting comments after @suzisausage mentioned her hanging decorations promptly ended the call for everyone.
This time last year I wrote '...and we end it on the cusp of a new era. I'm sure some wally in the distant past said something about a bumpy ride...' Who would have guessed what was going to follow and just how bumpier it would then become? I'm making no comment this year!
We have a huge team behind the scenes who make CL possible with their moderating, competitions, stats, previews, collecting etc. We are truly grateful to all of those for helping hold everything together and whilst we've always been about the collective, there's one individual who has significantly gone above and beyond this year in the efforts they've put into this site. Thank you for everything you've done @aliwibble its really appreciated by everyone.
Whilst we've continued to support the Charlton Upbeats throughout, its been great this last few months in being able to return to sponsoring club activities. Thanks to the generosity of 142 of our members donating thousands, we managed to take out a record 9 kit sponsorships this season, and have got involved in supporting the CAFC Women's team for the first time. Its great to link this fan-club-community connect back once again.
Finally, we always flag its a difficult time of the year for many. This year will undoubtedly be harder for everyone, but please have in your thoughts the friends and families of three lifers we sadly lost this year @HantsAddick@Ketts and Seb, and I'm sure there's probably more we've not been aware of. And alongside them a number of others from the Charlton family such as Les Turner, Steve Clarke, Syd Cheesewright, Theo Foley, Matt Tees and Don Townsend.
Merry Christmas everyone. Lets hope 2021 will be a year to enjoy.
Merry Christmas to all fellow Charlton supporters and guest members on this forum.
Thoroughly enjoy the forum on a daily basis and we have a great community that offers a variety of views, knowledge, expertise, and opinions. But most of all, we support one another when it comes to it and only wish the best for each other. At Charlton, we are a type of mad family after all.
I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and new year, one where we all can look forward to a brighter future.
A moment must be shared to remember those who could never make this Christmas. We have lost many and some of the greatest we could have asked for. Rest in peace to all who we have lost.
Stay safe, enjoy and let’s ensure we go from strength to strength in every way we can.
My thanks to all who run this wonderful site and my best wishes to everyone for as Happy and Peaceful a Christmas as possible in these strange circumstances.
Christmas to greetings to one and all. It dawned on me yesterday that it will be the first Christmas Day I've ever spent with just one person - my other half. Wishing you all the best and thanks to everyone on the forum for getting us through these dark days....
Happy Christmas to each and every one of you and lets hope for a happier,healthier new year. To all my colleagues in the LFB on duty over Christmas,stay safe. I'll raise a glass to you all and all those in the nhs,services,giving up their Christmas' for others. 🎅
Wishing all lifers a happy christmas, and hope the charlatans from the last year have a christmas from hell. May their ovens break, turkeys undercooked and have the raging shits for a week !. Thanks to the mods for keeping CL up and running through these difficult times.
Have a good one all. Nice to be part of the Charlton family. 32 years living in Norwich but my heart is still firmly in SE7. Let's hope for a good 2021 and get back to the championship as soon as posible.
To each and every one of the Charlton Life family I thank you all for the past year. You’ve made me laugh, you’ve made me think and even to the one or two who’ve made me tut I express my gratitude. We have something special here.
Merry Christmas to all Lifers . Going to the bog wouldn’t be so much fun but would be ten times quicker without going on Charlton Life and getting my regular fix !
Kids just left Father Christmas some milk home made chocolate Steve brownie that I refused tonight due to not wanting to spend the whole day on the pan tomorrow and some oats for the reindeer
Merry Christmas to all Lifers and a big shout out to everyone who runs this site! Personally 2020 has been a terrible year. Been furloughed since September although thankful for being safe and healthy. Hoping 2021 brings relief and happiness for everyone.
Happy Christmas everyone. Reading the messages above and generally I know that without this site, during this year I would have had a much worse time of it under lockdown.
A shining beacon of rational and occasionally irrational views across so many subjects that daily informs us in our lives rooted always in support of Charlton as a club.
So many great people on here and thank you everyone who makes it possible and those who contribute to make it such a great place to escape to.
My Christmas wish stirring the cake mix back in October was for an ongoing enjoyable relationship with my partner, for a solution to COVID and for promotion for Charlton. I know that’s really 3 wishes but I reckon the Father, Son and Holy Ghost may just pull it out of the bag 🤟🤞
Happy Christmas and let us all hope for a much more enjoyable next year.
Merry Chrimbo one & all,to each of your families & beyond,try to have the best Chrimbo as you possibly can in these trying times...keep safe all,we will all meet again soon (I might have pinched that last line from someone...😉)
Had a horrendous year, before you even consider Covid. But sipping a whiskey with my two kids soundly asleep upstairs, I’ve got great friends and Charlton are in good hands.
Life is good. Thanks to those who run this site. It’s a mini constant in a time of massive change. Merry Christmas all
Merry Christmas to you all! This site is a life line for all of us, and especially those like myself who choose to live overseas. Thank you all for the joy you bring. 🍻🙌🏼

Hi all, just wanted to take a minute to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy year, most of all good health!
These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words, they just copy and paste some random shit and send it on.
So, after all we've been though together this year I want to thank you for your friendship and wish you a happy 2018!
You are the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for.
Best wishes, Helen
For lo! the days are hast’ning on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heav’n and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Merry Christmas one and all.

CL is informative, entertaining, infuriating, hilarious and always there when you need your fix.
Massive thanks to those that run it, and for all the work that goes into keeping it the vital resource it is.
And thanks to all the contributors that make sure there's always something new to laugh at or despair over.
Who needs a real life when there's CharltonLife?
