@thelovebug Saw a colleague had their Christmas tree up already on a work caall yesterday! For me I like the old fashioned way of Christmas starts at Christmas Eve and goes on for 12 days. Seems most people now put decorations up start of December and take them down on the 27th!

St Lucia saffron buns

Edd Kimber creates a version of Swedish sweet rolls. They're traditionally served in December but work well served at breakfast all year round
