Rob tolfts Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Florence in Herne Hill had a decorated tree up next to the sign 'book now for Christmas'. As to Christmas food, a couple of years ago I used leftovers from homemade mince pies to make a Christmas pudding. Letting it age for an entire year. The recipe said to add brandy occasionally, but it didn't specify how much to use. By Christmas time it was very, very soggy...

She lives in Cumbria and this year, rather than faffing about for just two of us, we're going to our favourite sunday lunch pub for Christmas Day. I've already chosen what i'm having!

It's the same bubbly batter-like pastry the apple pie comes in, but with mincemeat and custard filling. It's quite something.

marisa_45 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I am no exception from the people whose favourite time of the year is Christmas - not only a feast for my stomach but my soul too. It's just so cosy and warm at home then. Don't mind to have an early Christmassy kitchen redolent with the smell of homemade desserts. Can't wait for December!

uncleglen Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The way we live today- the food and drink is available all year round- so we spend the whole year keeping the pounds at bay, struggling against over-indulgence- and then bing for 12 days...lunacy!

TheArtfulDogger Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 WowJust been dazzled by channel 74 on freeviewIt's called true Christmas and its dedicated to... Christmas themed films It's scary, although it's saving grace is that from 1am till the early hours they show the waltons and little house on the prairie (gawd Nellie Olson was a dream queen lol ) Never realised there were so many (rubbish) Christmas films Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/122041-christmas/page/2/#findComment-1063577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonirum Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Well, we know it's everywhere in the shops, but I draw the line at piped music being played, in particular "Let It Snow" by Dean Martin, as heard on Friday.
