Alison Curtis: I am choosing to take joy in a simplified Christmas

My husband and I are looking after the meal for the first time — I am not sure how we got so far in life without cooking a turkey

It is finally here, Christmas Eve! The most magical night of the year for our children and, although this year the hustle and bustle of seeing so many people might be absent, it can still be… spectacular!

The core of Christmas and what we celebrate at this time of year is thankfully still intact. We celebrate family, friends and time together and, although we will be seeing fewer people and plans have had to change, we can still celebrate what is important.
