On reading this, a year or more after it was written, I realised that it might be seen as a criticism of my mother.
It certainly isn't. Apart from the fact that she departed this life several years ago, she had not been capable of producing any sort of dinner for a long time prior to her death.
But before all that, her Christmas dinners were always plentiful and very nice indeed!

 

Last Christmas was not the best ever Despite mother’s earnest endeavour The food was all rotten The gifts misbegotten It was no kind of fun whatsoever! 28 November 2022
