Did you see the amazing young girl singing it in Love Actually? Olivia Olson is her name. If you missed the movie, it would make a great addition to your December viewing.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-83233769305804392152007-12-06T09:44:00.000+00:002007-12-06T09:44:00.000+00:00What a lovely post, Simon.

I look for the most sumptuous veggie recipe I can find. Last year I did a roasted red pepper, cranberry and goats cheese terrine and everyone wanted to eat it.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-29747745244235974962007-12-06T01:47:00.000+00:002007-12-06T01:47:00.000+00:00Great post, thanks!

In our family, we like to celebrate some of the older traditions we've carried on through the generations, and combine them with new ones we start (at least one every year). Our favorite book on the subject is <A HREF="http://www.togetherparenting.com/book.asp" REL="nofollow">Together: Creating Family Traditions</A>. Enjoy your new mince pie indulgence!harmonicbarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868456821098540309noreply@blogger.com
