Just settling down to watch the recording, Christmas can start now.

As the carols start I go into the kitchen and start preparing Christmas lunch, by the time it is over everything is ready from smoked salmon to Christmas pud. All the food prepped and in the fridge. Saucepans and serving dishes out on the side. Meanwhile DH and DD have laid the Christmas table. As the carol service ends, we have a nice cup of tea and a mince pie. Job done.

We'll be watching the televised version this evening. I'll light the candles and we'll eat fish pie and drink mulled wine sitting by the woodburner.

This and midnight mass always makes my Christmas.

Me too Maw, always listen to it while I do the vegetables, to me it's the start of Christmas and I also find Once in Royal David's City a real tear jerker.

The best part of Christmas, Maw. I cry too when those little choir boys sing.

Oh what happy memories this brings back
Finishing off baking mince pies, Paw home from work, parents or parents in law arriving for Christmas, children barely containing their excitement.
The opening bars of “Once in Royal David’s City “ has me (yet again) in tears
But what I realise is that I practically know it all off by heart, the readings as well as carols.
May these traditions never die out,and let Christmas begin!
