Stir-up Sunday has come and gone. All over the land, Christmas puddings have been lovingly made and are now maturing in readiness for Christmas day.
But if you haven't made your own, never fear.
Just resort to buying one, as I do every year!
I shall, over the next fortnight, do a review of a selection of ready-made Christmas puddings, including a traditionally-made beauty from Forman & Field. And, of course, I'll give you my low down right here as soon as I can.
In the meantime, I am happy to run another smashing competition offering you the chance to win your own Vintage Forman & Field pudding, plus brandy cream and vanilla sauce. And by "vintage" we're talking about puddings that have been matured for 9+ months and fed with 5 year old Somerset cider brandy. Oh yes! I have high hopes for this one!

My favourite carol is O Come All Ye Faithful. It always reminds me of carols services at school and signalling the end of term, then holidays.

My favourite carol is Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Mine is 'O Tannenbaum'.
My favourite is O Come All Ye Faithful. Back in primary school I was in the school choir, and at the end of every year we participated in a combined schools choral concert at the Sydney Opera House, and the finale was always O Come All Ye Faithful. 1000 voices, absolutely breathtaking. I can still remember the soprano part, although I haven't got a hope in hell of getting the high notes now! foodycat@fourie-online.eu
My favourite carol is Little Donkey, it reminds me of when I was a junior school and I played Mary!!

Spam bots can pick up secondary and web based email addresses from blogs too so you should NEVER ask people to leave an email address of any kind in a comment on a blog. Why not ask us to do it like this:

You, as a real human being, can see and understand my email address - the spam bots can't! Simples.
I've tweeted too, my Twitter ID is @compergrapevine
The point is that if the email address is secondary, and used only for internet purposes, it's not a big deal if it gets lots of spam as it can be dumped and a new one set up if it gets too much.
People are welcome to leave their email address in that format, have suggested it before, in fact. Would imagine most people have come across that by now.
Let It Snow
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
