How We Do Christmas Oop North
24 DecBeginning t’look a lot like Christmas
The apple, rhubarb and meat pies are baked and sitting snug in the fridge and freezer; the turkey is in the oven; the gammon will follow; fairy cakes still to be made but sausage rolls are done; veg, roasties, mash and Yorkshire puds will be cooked fresh tomorrow, along with the gravy; roasties will be cooked in turkey and gammon fat; gravy will be made from the stock.
I finally realised: I can cook
The cupboards are bursting with goodies; the tree is listing slightly under the number of presents waiting to be unwrapped tomorrow morning; all gifts not for us have been sent out; first-born son and lovely nephew will be here by eight, at the latest; Dr Who set to record, just in case. Ironing is up-to-date; washing washed and drying, ready to be put away; the house is clean.
One or two things to do
-
Change the beds – we must get into freshly made beds on Christmas Eve; I don’t know why. It’s the law.
-
Visit Dad at the cemetery. He hates being left out.
-
Go to the Christingle at four.
-
Open a bottle of wine.
-
Relax!

If you don’t celebrate this particular festival, I wish you a happy and relaxing holiday period; but to those who do,
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
