Emma and I wish you all a fuss free(ish), pleasant, Christmas Day.
This year, my husband was expected to be working off shore, so we are having our Christmas Dinner on Hogmanay. The four of us will all be here.
Like last year, I have bought a Marks and Spencer’s dinner, which only needs heated in the oven. It will be a seafood extravaganza with a chocolate dessert, as my younger son and I are seafood daft.
Unexpectedly my husband got back home off the boat, so there will be three of us, but we are going to stick to the original plan which is to delay the Gordon Ramsay Chili/Treacle Ham to Hogmanay. There is plenty of food and a Kobe beef steak pie if my husband doesn’t want the lobster and prawns.
Whatever you are doing, I hope you have an enjoyable time.
Particularly if you are on your own, I will raise a glass to toast you. If you are the cook and organiser, you do have my sympathy. Now that I’ve discovered the joys of a totally heaty up/ tin foil Christmas Dinner, there is no going back for me.
