A recipe for a Wonderful Christmas!


Sparkle this Christmas with Newbarn Farm's Recipe for a great Christmas

My husband and I went to see both of our daughters Christmas Navities today - both in different schools - so two productions to sit through - hankies at the ready (& I needed them!) - we both throughly enjoyed watching our daughters sparkle in their similiar roles as Christmas stars! (literally).
Well a little Christmas sparkle would be first of many ingredients required to make a truly successful Christmas, the remainder of the ingredients are listed in Newbarn Farm's (Fishing Holidays in Devon) recipe:-

1. Select carefully your chosen freinds and family. The main criteria here is to make sure they all get on well. Now invite them all to your Christmas celebrations - be careful not to overdo it - 3 days is the maximum time required!
2. Order Turkey, Gammon Ham and any other meats required for your celebrations at least 3 weeks in advance.
3. Order all vegetables in advance - organic tastes better - splash out it's Christmas!
4. Buy all cupboard foods required with a good shelf live - at least two weeks in advance.
5. Buy bread and cheeses on Christmas Eve - plan to go early to avoid and use the 10 items till.
5. Plan your menus carefully and write down a time plan.
6. Make sure all presents are bought and wrapped at least one week prior to Christmas with name tags carefully secured on each.
7. Endeavour to have all Christmas cards written and sent out using 2nd class stamps at least one week before the last posting date.
8. Organise a trip to your local pantomine - a must for all the family.
9. Find your local crib service or carol service and ensure the younger members of your family or friends are treated to one - they love the magic it creates!
10. Let the children decorate the Christmas cake - they are more likely to eat it if they feel they helped make it.
Blend all the above together slowly and whole heartedly to make a Christmas to remember, incorporate slowly and in moderation beverages of your choice - allowing time to settle in between.
