He was just 17 when he made his debut for West Ham. A natural goalscorer with the world at his feet.

In 2011, routine drug tests at the U-17 World Cup revealed he had testicular cancer.

Dylan Tombides kept training, kept smiling and kept fighting. He wore the West Ham shirt with pride while undergoing chemotherapy. His family later said he never complained.
Not once.

In April 2014, Dylan passed away aged just 20.

West Ham retired his number 38 shirt, and his foundation continues to raise awareness and save lives.
He never scored a Premier League goal.
He left something bigger behind.
Courage, strength and an unforgettable smile.

Postal workers at Sydney's GPO in Martin Place pictured sorting Christmas mail for the NSW coastal districts, December 1966.
The GPO was sorting millions of items of Christmas mail each day and was on track to maintain the record set the previous year - 89 million pieces of mail between 10 and 24 December, and 8,455,306 letters and parcels on the busiest, single day, which was 17 December.

Well champion @Dr_Ice, contrary to (maybe) popular opinion, we're more Griswalds aka Christmas Vacation - mind you, I loved the Die Hard movies, just not defined as a Chrissy movie .....

Got the kids and watched the first one last night - at moments the kids were saying the words to each line.

Die Hard and Home Alone standard Chrissy time movies.
