Last year we'd just moved into a new house but hadn't yet sold the old one down the lane, so between them we could accommodate everyone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We'd planned a last hurrah to say goodbye to our home of 45 years, and to celebrate our new house. Then, with just days to go, we were in again.&lt;br&gt;I'd ordered a 20lb turkey and forgotten to cancel it.&lt;br&gt;But all was well: my husband John and I had a wee roast duck, and the staff at the local care home (for whom I was cooking Friday night suppers) got an awful lot of turkey pie.&lt;br&gt;I've always loved Christmas, mostly I suspect because I am naturally bossy and it allows me to be Bee, making sure Christmas runs like clockwork.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, that's always the plan. But when I think of Christmases past, the disasters loom large.&lt;br&gt; Prue Leith shared advice for decorating your home this festive season as she attempts to revive traditional family Christmases.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pictured: Prue with her dogs Teazle (left) and Tattie&lt;br&gt; The time a nephew inadvertently turned off the oven after making his breakfast fry-up and, when I opened it at lunchtime, what should have been our slow-roast Christmas dinner was stone cold and raw. &lt;br&gt;Or when the dog ate the ham, or the time I thought deep-frying chestnuts would make peeling them easy, and I didn't slit their skins so they exploded like fireworks, spraying hot fat all over the kitchen.&lt;br&gt;Once I served prunes soaked in port for pud.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd decided, since they were already so soft, not to cook them, which meant the alcohol was undiminished and, since we'd already had Champagne and wine, we all got drunk as lords. &lt;br&gt;Then there was the year we had a Nativity play and I had the bright idea of bringing our donkeys into the Nativity scene.&lt;br&gt;One ate the straw in the crib and the other peed on the floor.&lt;br&gt; RELATED ARTICLES &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Share this article&lt;br&gt;Share&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet we all have glorious memories of Christmas too. Of going carol-singing with the children dressed as kings on the donkeys and me leading my horse-turned-camel (thanks to a cushion-filled hump). Of making snowmen in the days when we got serious snow in the Cotswolds. &lt;br&gt;Of everyone stirring the Christmas cake mix and making a wish.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of the children shouting up the chimney to Father Christmas with impossible demands. Of ‘games night' for grown-ups - mostly charades and a lot of booze.&lt;br&gt;Every family has its Christmas traditions and mine may well not resonate with yours, especially as mine are particularly old-fashioned and traditional because they started in the mid-70s and continued uninterrupted for 20 years, with my brother and sister-in-law coming to us one year and we going to them the next.&lt;br&gt; Prue said you don't need much in the way of decoration other than masses of holly with lots of berries.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pictured: Prue with her splendid festive table&lt;br&gt;Since then, with our children grown and with families of their own and with their own in-laws to consider, the alternate-year tradition has broken down. And since between us we now boast 16 grandchildren and counting, getting all of us together would be impossible, even if we had the beds.&lt;br&gt;Moving house had me briefly deciding to junk our old Christmas decorations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not least because our new modern house has no mantelpieces to drape swags (garlands of greenery that taper at each end) under. I had thoughts of starting afresh with cool new objets from some expensive design shop. &lt;br&gt;slot deposit pulsa&lt;/a&gt; please visit our own internet site.</div>
