Upon realising that as the years advance I find myself wishing for physical presents less and less and value experiences more, an almost overwhelming yearning for a good old fashioned family christmas puts me in a nostalgic mood lately. Sitting around the large dining table warping with fragrant, delicious food and the smell of roast lingering in the air, the proud smile on my mother’s face when looking at her children getting spoiled by her cooking inspired a natural association from gathering with family to irresistible food.
