Well Christmas is in full swing in our household. I spent most of the weekend doing some last minute present shopping while the rest of the family finished off making decorations and Christmas crackers. Yes, homemade crackers - another great use for the empty toilet roll!
Sunday I was employed, glass of port in one hand and pastry cutter in the other, mastering Nigella Lawson's Frangipane mince pies recipe.
Tonight we begin wrapping the mountain of presents. Every year we have a rule not to overspend on presents, but every year we each have our own agenda and end up buying more than is healthy. Oh well, the kids love it and that's all that counts.
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.
P.S. We plan to begin potatoe chitting in the new year.
