Then suddenly, in late November or early December, some ancestral spirit (my grandmother, perhaps) possesses me and I long to make Christmas cake, Christmas pudding and home-made fruit mince. Without these things, Christmas just isn't Christmas. (We'll have seafood and pavlova as well, but they won't be the main event.)
As recently as yesterday I was still planning a simplified Christmas, but today the spirit struck. The Christmas pudding is made and simmering on the stove and if time allows tonight, I might even make a batch of Gran's fruit mince.
