That feeling where I weigh-up up a box of chocolates in one hand to see if it still feels like there's "enough in there" before I sneak more into my mouth.

Share a 90s TV show that deserves more love. 📺

Holding On (BBC, 1997)

Incredible 8-part drama about interwoven lives starring David Morrissey, Lesley Manville, Phil Daniels, Ruth Sheen, Badi Uzzaman, Sam Kelly, and many others.

It's a real milestone when kids become old enough to understand Christmas hymns and songs in context as I did as a child.

So now the 9 yr old sees that the three kings not only traveled "one in a taxi" and "one in a car", but that also one was by scooter, "papping his hooter, smoking a big cigar".

" ‘Between democracy and totalitarianism,’ says Mussolini, ‘there can be no compromise.’ The two creeds cannot even, for any length of time, live side by side. So long as democracy exists, even in its very imperfect English form, totalitarianism is in deadly danger.

I wouldn't say I'm "Christmassy" but I do enjoy being in front of the telly surrounded by all this stuff this time of year.

You make a tradition your own to get the most out of it.
