7th December: Biscuits, Pups and Tenors

 

1: A dog by the fire - is there a greater sign of seasonal contentment?!

2: Although, of course, it's not all sitting by the fire! It's essential to have beautiful and warm clothes when braving the elements!

3: Decorated ginger biscuits. Always such a joy to work together to create these.

4: A standard sight in the porch at this time of the year!

5: Essential viewing! Since we started watching this (about half-a-decade ago) we haven't missed a single year. And it's a journey of laughter and beauty amid the stunning music and larger-than-life characters.

6: Licking the spoon. I mean, everyone does this at Christmas, don't they?

7: A finished product! Treacle biscuits have been a part of our Christmas all my life. And there's some mincemeat there, which is full of promise!
