Not only food of course but without all that cooking, clearing and washing up we might actually enjoy ourselves a little.<br />Every time I say 'never again' and there we all are again, Easter, Xmas and many many times in-between.<br />We did survive another one.

Difficult enough dealing with a monster cooking session, but it is those 'small' family tensions which can really pile on the stress as we try to keep things jolly while dealing with culinary failures - my roast potatoes were charred, the sprouts soggy. I love all my family, but collectively they are a nightmare, not that anyone else would be aware of it. <br /><br />I raise a toast to you Linda, we survived another one.

When I opened the bag there was a dreadful smell of rotting veg', so they went straight to the compost. 2018 was the first ever year without Christmas Sprouts.
