Christmas isn't Christmas without...

all these things, which I have had every Christmas since I can remember. Plus pistachio nuts, cheese footballs and Twiglets. Wouldn't be right without them. Sprouts, I can live without.

I was in Sainsbury's at 6.15am, it was lovely and quiet and I didn't have to queue. Back in bed at 8am. The rest of the day has been utterly foul, gales and horizontal rain - a stay inside day if ever there was one.

So a Christmas song - a nice understated and classy tune.

Good grief is it really Christmas already?
