Just read this Sallykins and I think your Christmas sounds absolutely lovely. And, how easy is today for you! Carrot and mince pie brings back happy memories when my daughter and nephew were little. I still remember the amazement on their faces when they saw the crumbs and bit of carrot left on the hearth. I have managed to arrange it that I do a proper fish dinner for Christmas Eve and then do the whole turkey dinner thing for Christmas Day - I still can't figure out how it all landed on me for the last few years!
