Made Xmas pudding for the first time this year, so easy I don't know why I bothered always buying before!! In fact made two and tried one last week, YUMMMM!! Always make my own mince pies, stuffing and all the other stuff, bar the cake, 'cause I'm the only person in the family who likes marzipan, and I know if I made one, I'd end up eating the whole thing (and I could and would!) Always make massive pan of mulled wine on Xmas eve, when hubby's family come round, too.

It's easy - all you have to do is add plenty of booze. Not to the sausage rolls though (add stuffing to them) lol.
