Voices: I spent Christmas Day online gaming – and had the best time of my life

I’ve always been a gamer – with varying intensity throughout my adult life. But contrary to what you might expect, my love of online gaming is only getting stronger as I get older.

Now that I’m in my thirties, I’m even more grateful that I can boot up my computer, day or night – any day of the year – and immediately be connected to people with a shared interest who are looking for company themselves.

I had a bustling social calendar for 25 December, in the form of legacy raids in with friends I speak to almost every we all love. I’m not embarrassed to say it was one of my favourite Christmases to date.
