Gluten free here tooThe Shoebox Fairies is based in Wigan if anyone is local and wants to donate. They're on Instagram.
I'm making my first Christmas cake soon. I won't be adding booze (boo) so don't need to make it months and months in advance. It has to be gluten free so wish me luckI'm also going to make a GF yule log.
If anyone is GF I really recommend Becky Excell's cookbook. There is a Christmas section in one.
Is anyone advent calender mad? I have two for me and my child has four nowI like to drag Christmas out and it feels like getting a present every day. A bit OTT I know but I'm making up for lost Christmases.
I've made the Mary Berry recipe off BBC good food and literally replaced the flour with gluten free and a bit of xanthan gum and it's lovely
Mary Berry's classic Christmas cake recipe
Mary Berry’s been making her traditional Christmas cake recipe for as long as Paul Hollywood’s been alive. She knows what she’s talking about.

Love Becky Excell by the way and I'm going to make the Yule log as our Christmas Day pudding
@jackieweaver’sauthority I made it this year with my 2 and 5 year old, the bonus is that it doesn't really need to look pretty and icing is quite salvageable
Ooooooooo I love this!
Speaking of christmas cakes M&S sell booze soaked fruit.
So do Lidl
Presoaked fruit sounds good. Does the alcohol cook off? I’ve never had Christmas cake before
I'm not sure if it cooks off. You normally feed it with booze every week in the lead up to Christmas so it gets very boozy!Presoaked fruit sounds good. Does the alcohol cook off? I’ve never had Christmas cake before
You could soak in tea or fruit juice if you don't want to use booze
I put my Christmas tree up today I wanted to cheer my teenager up and to be honest I just wanted it done and dusted. She laughed her head off when she saw it after school and called me crazy
It’s never went up before the 1st December in our house.

Thank you I appreciate you replying. The fruit juice option sounds good. I’d like to make it an annual tradition as I never had any like that growing up.I'm not sure if it cooks off. You normally feed it with booze every week in the lead up to Christmas so it gets very boozy!

Orange juice or apple juice would work nicely.
Easy Christmas cake recipe | Good Food
Use your choice of dried fruit, nuts, citrus zest and booze (or even tea) and get this simple Christmas cake made up to six months in advance
www.google.com
This recipe has lots of options and the comments are always helpful.
I know what you mean about making new traditions. Once you start making Xmas cakes they become second nature so you will be a pro in no time at all
Seen poinsettias in the all the supermarkets the past few days. Horrid things 
. I was given one a few weeks before xmas last year and it had the temerity to live to Summer despite being neglected completely. I must be an old sap cos I can't bring myself to throw away a living plant.

Awh, I like them, especially the pink ones.
I'm impressed you manage to keep one alive until summer, 99% of them are dead before Christmas day, fussy bastards.
Does anyone do a Christmas bathroom? I saw a entire range of Christmas bathroom items in The Range today. I'm definitely going to be a Nana with a Christmas bathroom (one day)
(one day)
A Christmas towel, soap, a diffuser and a jug of artificial foliage is as far as I go. Oh and I'll add a ceramic ornament or 2 to the downstairs shower room as well.Does anyone do a Christmas bathroom? I saw a entire range of Christmas bathroom items in The Range today.
