All the Christmas films, from Love, Actually to Miracle on 34th Street, we have to watch them all. 

The Little Shop on Silver Linings Street

The Little Shop on Silver Linings Street

Having all my family together

My peanut sables - they’re really just cheese biscuits with crushed peanuts on top but I only make them at Christmas and they’re a firm tradition. 

The smell of the Christmas tree. We’re lucky enough to always have a real one. 

The smell as you open the first tin of Quality Street. And yes, we get through more than one!

Pigs in blankets. Forget the turkey, I’ll just have a plateful of these! 

Lots of frosty walks in pale wintry sunlight.
