Christmas Eve is one of my favourite days of the year. The food cupboards are full, the house wrapped in a blanket of fragrant, spicy warmth. We re-enact our family traditions: mince pies baked as the choir rejoices in the beauty of King’s College, the well rehearsed reminiscences and exclamations over each bauble as we decorate our tree, the hanging of our empty stockings by the fireplace with a shared, excited anticipation of what’s to come. And finally, we make the last additions to our Nativity scene, remembering the first Christmas Eve in a humble stable long ago.
Happy Christmas
