I am a week away from being officially a pensioner, and both me and my other half still love Christmas even though we never had any kids. Not the religious side as we don’t go there, but just the joy of giving (and receiving) presents that not have just been asked for or hinted at but the thoughtful surprise ones.
Then we also love the food, both the preparation and of course the eating. We do push the boat out and spend a bit more on the meat and I have to admit, this year it has been by far the best Christmas dinner we have had…. Worth every penny, with loads left over for days to come.
Boxing Day bubble and squeak with plenty of cold meats and pickles… my other halve’s favourite.
