When the family are all together back home, the tree is up and like you the mince pies are being eaten. Although I must have a word with the CMM about home baked ones.:bwink:

Christmas eve when the turkey giblets are being cooked to make gravy and the dog won't move away from the cooker knowing she's going to get them as a special treat :tongue:

Take a guess
Usually the beginning is signalled by the visiting of relatives, this year that's Monday when we drive down to my brothers for a meal.

The day that the two daughters start searching for their pressies . The yearly ritual started many years ago. The big one who is now 45 came today and sneaked off looking for them. She didn't find them ..she never has.
