Awwww... well part of hubby's Christmas ritual is watching Alastair Sim in "Scrooge"! I usually do the cooking anyway, actually. Bless her, my mum has never been much of a cook (I mean she's okay, but she cooks because she has to, if you see what I mean) and if I do it, we get a decent dinner! Also, given that the kids are young and all their toys are here, it's easier to have dinner at our house - my parents only live ten minutes away, if that. The most I've cooked for for Xmas dinner so far is nine... I couldn't believe it when I checked the countdown clock... only 59 DAYS??

My hubby's role model! If I have to cook for everybody it will be for 10, and I have done it before, and it's no more difficult for 10 than it is for 4 or 6, but I don't want to be pressured into it. If it's only 59 days I need to start searching for my Christmas spirit...now!

Now I imagine you have this big red digital clock in your living room, just like Matt's...! ;)
I love Christmas. I adore it. I've already started shopping and really must make that Christmas pudding soon! Thanks for the reminder. :) And aside from my TWW S7 box set, what I really want for Christmas this year is S60 picked up for a full season! I wonder if Father Christmas has influence at NBC?
Now I imagine you have this big red digital clock in your living room, just like Matt's...! ;) It just feels like I have!
I love it too, don't get me wrong... it just seems to start so early! And of course, it's great when you have kids. I'll be making the pudding(s) tomorrow - Delia's Christmas gets a lot of use here!
Hm. Talking about what you really want for Christmas has sent me to my happy place... Brad wrapped up in a big red bow would suit me just fine :) (C'mon - you knew I was going to say that!!)

I find a few large G&Ts generally do the trick!
