My Perfect Christmas Day — Caroline Machin!
My perfect day would be from when I was small. All the aunts, uncles, and grandparents would turn up at our house. The men carrying chairs for extra seating at the table, which consisted of 3 paste tables covered in tablecloths, and my nan bringing her homemade Xmas puds with sixpences in! Then all the men went to the local pub at lunchtime, while all the woman peeled veg and chatted away in the kitchen; drinking Martini and lemonade, this all culminated in a very tasty and filling Christmas dinner around about half past 3. All the uncles and grandads would fall asleep in armchairs with the gas fire glowing away warmly and the women clearing and washing up. Me as the only littleun would be playing with my new toys surrounded by snoring and occasional farting men. Would give anything to have that again, just for one day. Loved ones sadly gone and still missed .
