Merry 2025 Xmas to All Lifers

AFKABartram · December 24

Merry Christmas to all Lifers, and thank you for once again being part of what makes this community so special. The forum will incredibly be 20 years old in 2026 and it’s amazing how it’s managed to keep chugging on through good times and bad. We wish you and your families plenty of love, good health and happiness over the festive period.

On the Charlton front, 2025 times turned out to be a rare good one, culminating with another joyous Wembley day. I’m not sure too many on Xmas Eve last year saw us in the Championship this season. @LoOkOuT and me don’t get to see each other very often with him living overseas, so to be able to celebrate together in Boxpark was really special for us (though I’m surprised either of us remembered, we were both smashed as photo below proves 🤣)

The usual Christmas threads will be making a return, including the ever-popular Xmas Day Rate My Plate, kicking off tomorrow, as it should, on XMAS DAY :-)

We’ve sadly over the last 12 months lost a few forum stalwarts from over the years , notably @Redmidland @Chirpy Red and @creepyaddick Extra thoughts are with anyone in our Charlton family who finds this time of year especially tough or is missing loved ones.

Much love and Up the Mighty Addicks

AFKA & Lookie

Merry Christmas to you both.

Over the years being on here has made me feel like I got a lot of people looking out for me and of course for each other. Makes me feel privileged that I made the right decision to be a Charlton fan. I've only met a couple of you in real life but all of you are like friends.
Thanks to those who make this forum possible and those who keep it as welcome as it is.

Have a decent Christmas the lot of ya.
even our Millwall lurkers can have a half decent one as well, I guess.

Up the addicks

Thinking of all the Lifers lost and those that weren’t looking forward to this period. Raise a glass to you all.

I’m sure I met Looky at a City Addicks many years ago but would not be able to pick him out in a line up!

Happy Christmas to you both and all of you. X

Thanks for your good wishes AFKA. Same to you and your family.

Interesting that LookOut lives overseas. His post match summaries are brilliant.

Merry Sky Sportsmas to the CL hierarchy, a generally thankless task I would imagine. So, erm, thanks.

Just found out apart from those on these western isles of Europe, as in UK and Ireland, hardly any one knows fairytale of New York. Our nations favourite.
I didn't know where else to put this disappointing fact so went with this thread. Sorry.

Merry Christmas to all. We have all the kids and grandkids coming tomorrow so a busy day but I’m sitting here thinking about how I can read the rate my plate thread ! That’s what this forum does to you lol

Merry Christmas everyone! Hopefully, there’s peace and joy and three points on Boxing Day.

This photo captures the intensity of trying to work out how to hold my phone and take a pic while at least ten pints deep! The first pic was a video, so it wasn’t going well!
