Is it too early to get worked up about Christmas?

I am looking forward to this Christmas more than any other I can remember!

This is the first year that Jack will really get what's going on. This is his 3rd Christmas. He enjoyed last year, but this time he's already loving all the Christmas decorations in town and in the shops. He loves the Christmas tree & decoration section in the supermarket! He recognises pictures of Santa too. I tried to explain that Santa brings presents for all the good boys and girls but I don't think that has sunk in yet. I'll work on it though!

Also, this is Tom's first Christmas, and that's always going to be special. I've bought him a Christmas Pudding suit to wear! And we still have Jack's Santa suit from his first Christmas so we have a spare in case of accidents. (I'm wanting to get Jack an elf suit for this year).

I'm itching to get up into the loft and get the tree and decorations out, but I'm waiting until Dec 1st. Mark wants to wait longer but no way! First window on those advent calanders = tree up and decs out! I've dug out the Christmas tunes CD already and have it stashed ready to get Fairy Tail of New York played as soon as December rolls round!

Our first Christmas as a family of 4! Me, my hubby and our two sons. YAY!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
