I know Christmas gets criticised a lot for being all about greed and so on and, while I disagree with that, today’s entry isn’t going to do much to affect that image. You see, I want to write about Christmas food. I really love Christmas food. You know, some people eat certain things just because they are Christmassy and not because they like them? Well, that’s not the case with me. I have to admit that it was kind of true of me when it came to mince pies, but once I had them warmed up I realised they could be absolutely delicious (especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream). So, I love them too. Then there are Christmas puddings, which I find vastly superior, which are heavenly. I like the feeling of being really full from a Christmas dinner and then going on to have a huge Christmas pudding anyway and then reaching that ecstatic state of being very full and very relaxed. I’ve had a lot of time lately where I’ve gotten quite far into the day without eating any food and then I start thinking of the yule logs, the cheesy footballs, the stollen, the fancy cheeses… My goodness. I love it all and I just wanted to write about how much I love it all. Though, equally, I wouldn’t want to have them all year round, just near Christmas so as not to spoil them. I hope you will all get to enjoy the foods you love this Christmas.
(Coincidentally, my new article for Rice Digital, which went up today, is also Christmassy!)
(And so is today’s Finger Puppet Show!)
