Xmas dinner, in this house, will be salmon-en-croute (Sainsbury's) as my daughter and granddaughter, who live with me, are non-meat eaters. Daughter will prepare the vegetables and pudding will be the endless boxes of chocolates we seem to acquire every Xmas - washed down with port, brandy etc.
Boxing Day will see me and all my children and grandchildren at a local hostelry which has an excellent carvery and deliciously wicked puddings. Later, we will have a buffet (most of which is already in my freezers), an awful lot of champagne and other booze, and some very silly board games.
