Although it's interesting that that's tacky because I feel like Christmas lunch has been like...

Gwyneth-ified or even just Nigella-ified in terms of it's become much fancier than turkey now.

I know that the traditional Australian, like Anglo-Australian, like ham and prawns, I'm a fan, but now it seems to be like Ottolenghi salads and 25 different dips.

So I think that they're being a bit snooty about turkey there, but, you know, it also, as Jessie says, is not the tastiest of meats.

Christmas carols, yay or nay?

How could Christmas carols be tacky?

They're not all created equally.

We're going to have a row now about what constitutes a carol, aren't we?

Because Em once said to me that Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is a carol.

That is a carol.

It is a carol.

It is absolutely a carol.

It's a Christmas song.

Christmas carols are like silent night.

I know that you're right about waste.

But you can't have too many bonbons at Christmas.

We call them crackers in England.

You can't have too many crackers at Christmas.

You have to have lots of them.

In England, do you have jokes in your crackers?
