My kids are now in their twenties and no grandkids as yet but still so much to enjoy

Family members getting older so enjoying each Christmas with them to the full. Made most of our food now - mincemeat and marzipan loaves cooled down on the rack, some for us and some for presents. Trifle - 🍒 with cherry amaretto sponge fingers, vanilla custard (lactose free) and lactose free double cream on top the main item still to make other than the Christmas Day veg we will prep tomorrow and roasties made on the day.

Having our Christmas Eve meal at a local Cotswolds Stone pub, CAMRA branch winner. Got some great beers in, alcoholic and non alcohol. 

Hopefully, England cricketers (if they can stay off the booze long enough themselves) and Saints/Cheltenham footballers give some sporting entertainment on Boxing Day.

Yep, my kids are grown up but Christmas with them is still special. Having a grandchild adds to the magic. 

The best thing is as simple as all being together, eating and laughing together, and having a great time. 

Splendid time of the year.
