[Margaret Pilkington]

We don't do Turkey.....it is far too big even if I give some to my neighbour and Ma.
One year the bird we were having hasn't thawed out properly so we had spud pie with red cabbage......we really really enjoyed it.
The bird was cooked the following day......and though it was passable the spud pie was great.....so what could have been a disaster was rescued by having a plan B.

I make Christmas cards......and while most of mine have very few religious connotations......other than the significance of the day, it is good to think that someone took the time to think about you......and think about you enough to send a card.

Margaret, it is lovely that you received a card from your Muslim carer......and while you might feel it is unwanted, it would be churlish to express that.
Be glad that someone thought of you.
I do not send cards to get cards.....I send them because winter is a miserable dark time......and these are a colourful reminder of friends and family. We may not see them often, but they are still there.
