		<title>&#8216;Twas the Night Before Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably my favourite bedtime story telling of the year.  The stockings by the tree, the mince-pie and the glass of beer on the  mantel piece, (not forgetting a carrot for the reindeer, of course) time for Clement C. Moore&#8217;s delightful verse to enchant.  (Possibly, me more than the girls &#8211; but, hey, mums get to decide sometimes &#8211; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cclblog.wordpress.com&blog=1135064&post=8549&subd=cclblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All about Eve (Christmas that is)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to love Christmas Eve as a child.  I would put clean sheets on my bed (the pretty ones with tiny orange rose sprigs on them), have a bath and get into clean pyjamas, watch the Christmas movie on television, have a Christmas story and then spend the night tossing and turning because it was too exciting [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cclblog.wordpress.com&blog=1135064&post=8443&subd=cclblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
