countdown to you know what...

Christmas tipples
if you have to be tee-total or have a hangover or (weirdly) just don't fancy booze, try:
pineapple juice
ginger ale
ginger beer
but do not drink grapefruit juice, if you are on chemo. It counteracts any good the chemo is doing. Boring bit:Grapefruit can block the activity of an enzyme in the intestine that is involved in the metabolism of certain medications. Because the medications can't be broken down, blood levels may rise and become toxic. 

whoops...
Cheap Blue Peter Wreath
Shape a circle out of a coat hanger and wrap holly from granny and ivy from the roadside around the 'wreath' and use wire to keep it vaguely circular. Add some chilli peppers and any old red plant to heat it up a bit and Brussel sprouts if you can (uncooked).
