A. Yes my Uncle Jim was a Methodist lay preacher, but he and my aunt were very 'old school'. They owned a grocers shop and he made ice cream but when we visited on a Sunday we weren't allowed to have either ice cream or sweets and we were only allowed to play hymns on their piano and not the other pieces we had learned.

Q. What do you do on Christmas eve?

Me too Pat, all our family going back until 1159 have had a pastor in the family. Family trees are fascinating.


On Christmas eve my daughter started the Flemish idea , and now it is a tradition... giving books wrapped in plain brown paper. ( After going to the late night service)


At what point did you stop believing in 'Father Christmas'...and who told you it was not true?

My sister and I had heard rumours at school when I was about ten or eleven, so one Christmas we searched the house when our parents were out and found stuff on the top shelf of the high cupboard - we must have been like monkeys to get up to it. And then they were there on Christmas morning so we just knew then that the rumours were true.
