00:02The best time for Christmas has been with your family, your close loved ones. This year I'm
00:07celebrating it at home with all my family. Yeah, I'm cooking for 11. Food! I don't really do that many.
00:17Yeah, and just spending time, like having the whole day, the whole nation is just inside,
00:22having food, like everyone's doing the same thing. Even people who don't celebrate Christmas.
00:26Every Christmas it's literally a whole family Christmas, and there was 14 last year,
00:32so I'm one of my favourite traditions, which you can definitely say is by, is my mum lets us open
00:37a small
00:38present, one small present early. On Christmas Eve, isn't it? On Christmas Eve, just so then
00:44we're not all tearing into a modern Christmas day in New York. No, I mean I'll be at home on
00:50my own
00:50at Christmas, but my children and grandchildren come over to me on Boxing Day, so that's like our
00:54Christmas Day, and that really makes it, that's a special time when they're all together.
01:02Yeah, we've got a family Christmas. So we live outside of the city, and we all live in the
01:09more or less the same area, so it's easier for us. We can all get together, go out and have
01:14a meal,
01:14go out and have a drink with, you know, the key family, although that's what we like to do.
01:21Paroize your meals of the early days, keep moving on.
