I've been thinking about this, because a lot of my friends have said it doesn't feel like Christmas yet - how do you know it's here?
For me, it's when I cook some sausage rolls - mince pies don't have the same effect 'cos I usually start eating those as soon as the shops start stocking them, I'll usually go through about six boxes... (shameful, I know!) - and when I open the Quality Street tin on Christmas Eve. The other thing that makes Christmas for me is an advocaat snowball - I know they're disgusting but I love them, especially when I hide a glace cherry in the bottom and don't tell hubby, then get to watch him turning interesting shades of blue as he tries to dislodge it.....
