What are your plans for Xmas this year?

Personally I love Xmas. It's my fave time of year Santa tone1 Christmas tree I love the music, spending time with family; my little sister still gets soo excited Blush and I love watching the Xmas movies. Everything just feels so amazing this time of year for me. 

The downside for me is how busy the shops get, the pushing and shoving of other people, the overbearing loud music. If I could stay in my house all through December I would! Sweat smile Going out this time of year feels like being in the middle of a riot. Last year I got shoved so hard I fell and sprained my wrist. I wish people wouldn't go so OTT in the shops.

This year I'll be having a quiet Xmas with my family. We'll watch Xmas movies on Xmas Eve, my little sister will wake me super early on the 25th as usual lol and I still need to finish my shopping. Buying gifts is my fave part, I really think hard about what people will want and enjoy. It's like a challenge and I love it!

What are your own plans?

  • No travelling this year, my partner is coming to stay with me. No need to get catsitters either. My partner is a vegetarian, so I will be looking to create dishes that still are satisfyingly Christmassy sans turkey. But I might have a turkey wing with all the trimmings before he comes.

    Nut roast ready made can be rather dry, so I concoct something that includes a lot of fruit too, squash, carrot and apple with dried plums and nuts, plus lots of the usual spices. I might make a baked camembert with pears on another day. Wine there is aplenty, I get mine from a company that keeps me supplied with some of Hungary's finest.

    There will be some Christmas markets to look at, hoping he will find some decent movies for us to watch too. I already have plenty of new music.

    Sounds yummy. I'm not vegetarian, but do enjoy some meat free meals. We have a Sainsburys thin & crispy vegetable pizza once a week - it has red onions, red & yellow peppers and courgette as a topping and is delicious.

    That sounds yummy too! I avoud gluten now, but there are gluten free bases you can buy, and I make my own toppings on top of these.
