Frank Sinatra- and who else? That's right, big ol blue eyes and his smooth, crisp carols send my sister and I into a festive frenzy of bunny hopping around the kitchen table....we love those J I N G...LE BELLS!!!
Cliche shhhmiche because IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. George Bailey I'll love you until the day I die! All time fav Christmas film (along with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation), that can only be watched with the five of us present.
Stockings and seek. Never too old for a stocking filled with pressies or satsumas and nuts for that matter (Dad!!) Nor the hiding of gifts mum disguises amidst orders to get tonic from the fridge...there's a present. Carving knife from drawer...a present. Turkey from oven...ROAST POTATOES! Ultimate present!
Unboxing the xmas decs- where we root through the mass of reindeer antlers and moth eaten Christmas hats, untangle fairy lights and deck the oversized tree we forced dad to buy. We hit the Quality Street whilst Mrs Clause deliberates the decor for hours and soon transforms the place into a winter wonderland.
What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, gooooooood!! The damn Christmas spread is blatantly what it's all about...and the devouring of selection boxes first thing in PJs with a glass of champaz! Thank you Santa!
