Guess who's volunteered to be Santa next week for the reception class and year 1 at one of the schools Mrs D looks after? Ill have to somehow not swear for at least half an hour!

Cook's prerogative.
I'm planning on doing a breast of lamb this year as it's the easiest. Season it up, plonk it on the potatoes in the roasting tin, add some garlic, herbs and stock, cover with a tin foil "tent" and pop it in the oven on low for three and a half hours or so. Minimum fuss.

Outside lights are up.
The ones alongside the path are on something like their 15th year of life.
The ones on the gutter are new this year.
One turkey dinner already consumed, with our walking group. Another one due on Friday week, with some friends.
Present shopping just about done. It looks like being another year where Santa does not bring me an old Land Rover to run around in......

Interesting Santa facts.
He's partly based on St Nicholas of Myra whose feast day is/was in December. One thing he did was to give, secret Santa style, three bags of gold to a bloke who was on his uppers and considering selling his three daughters into prostitution. He may even have dropped the gifts down the chimney.
But come on, medieval saints can do better than that surely? Nick doesn't disappoint. His best miracle was the resurrection of the pickled children.
During a famine a wicked butcher had killed and pickled three children, intending to to sell them as pickled meat. But Nick scuppered his plans by resurrecting them.

Early Christian saints absolutely rock. If they aren't getting martyred in utterly gruesome ways (Lucy and Lawrence I'm looking at you) they're performing really cool miracles or doing other good stuff.
Did you know St Ursula set off from Britain on pilgrimage accompanied by 11,000 virgins? And they all got killed by the Huns in Cologne. Can you believe it?*

Christmas can now be Christmassed here chez Casa Reynard.
The tree is up, the stockings have been hung, and the self-made wreath from foraged greenery is adorning the front door. But most importantly, the giant pork pie has been acquired.

Is this the place to come for favourite Xmas film recommendations?
