On the other hand, all of our children are going to be with their in-laws this year so... turkey dinner for one for the carnivore and baked beans on toast for me. Bliss!

If I start too early, I manage to fool myself that I've got it sorted, then I get distracted and stop, forget what I've done so far, and end up with a last-minute panic. And usually the list goes missing. One year I put several summer-bought presents away in the famous Safe Place and didn't find them until several months after Christmas. Nowadays I know hardly anyone who likes mincemeat or Christmas cake, so I can cross that particular task off the list and feel just fine about buying them ready made just for me!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398213417325683445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-10764144048155947182015-11-20T21:44:03.283+00:002015-11-20T21:44:03.283+00:00Secretly impressed by mincemeat.
