Although I’m not overly sentimental, maintaining traditions seems
to matter at Christmas. We resolutely decorate our tree on Christmas Eve with
an eclectic mix of baubles and take it down on 6 January, long after most people
have tidied their decorations away. Our Christmas cake reposes on my mum’s cut
glass stand (which only ever saw the light of day in my childhood home at Christmas)
and just like Mum, I make mince pies on Christmas Eve. However I suspect that particular tradition was
born originally out of her dis-organisation so clearly the apple doesn’t fall
far from the tree!!
