Holidays of varying descriptions

It's that time of year again. Food, drink, family gatherings, and horrible Christmas Carol shows on TV.

I would like to state that I have, thus far, managed to avoid said Christmas Carol shows. I intend to continue with this good form. Nothing makes me feel less Christmassy than having to watch a certain past-it tenor belt out a questionably 'classic' hymn.

This post starred LadyBlogger as The Grinch.

On a serious note, I wish all readers of this blog the happiest of holidays and hope that you all find much joy over the holiday season and the coming year.
