DECEMBER HAS BEGUN. The Christmas lights are up in the streets. And that means, for many families around the country, it is time for mams to come into their own.

So we’re asking: what is the most Mam thing your mam has ever done?

It’s a time of family tensions.

I just insulted our Christmas tree and now my mam isn't talking to me... It's a Christmas Tree calm down

Of deception

Asked Mam to bring up biscuits. She comes in, straight faced, with USA ones. Acting like the Fox's tin doesn't exist. Pull. The. Other. One.
