CHRISTMAS is the time of year when we truly indulge in all the things that make us nostalgic; and nothing is more nostalgic than our Christmas traditions.
While the big day is centred around the mouth-watering anticipation of dinner, for me it is Christmas Eve that holds a timeless magical quality.
From the age of eight until I was 17, I spent every Christmas Eve with my gran. Dad dropped me off at her flat for the day while he and mum rushed all over the city picking up last minute presents and sorting preparations for big day.
