Merry Christmas to you, from Jemma x

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Ok, no one is allowed to use this pic against me. I did love my sweets as a kid.

If you haven't done so already, make sure you check out my post on surviving the silly season. With so many temptations out there at this time of year, it's a good idea to have a plan and with some simple stategies, you'll be feeling on top of the world by the new year.

Scroll down and you'll also find my brilliant drawing (I don't think you could find a better one just quietly) of how to plate up your Chrissy lunch. Think plenty of salad, plenty of water, and go easy on the sweets and grog.

Speaking of sweets, I've also pasted a couple of pics of my Christmas cooking from previous years. I must admit that this year I've been rather slack in that department, but at the same time I know that whatever I make I'm going to have to sample, so it's probably best to steer clear! This year I am planning on cooking my first ever turkey, so I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Any tips are very welcome!
