Perhaps the greatest Christmas tradition is buying enough food to last a month because shops will be closed for one day. The tradition dates back to when shops were shut for two days, which doesn't really make for a good excuse.
There is only so much a person can eat, although I do like to challenge that theory each year.
I am spending Christmas Day on my own this year so I have loaded up on simple pleasures - alcohol, pizza, smelly cheese and kettle chips. Somehow I spent £90, of which only £35 was alcohol. So that's £55 on pizza, smelly cheese and kettle chips. I reckon they must have inflated the prices or something.
Still, it should make for a very pleasant Christmas Day.

Enjoy your smelly cheese. I bought a christmas pudding, imported from England! I will enjoy that with brandy hard sauce and a nice cup of tea. Have a great christmas.

Christmas alone! That is not very good for the soul. Hope it is a good day anyway.
