One of the many traditions in our household during winter, as with families across the country, is snuggling up on the couch in the evening with the curtains drawn watching re-runs of those classic films.

One of the many traditions over the Christmas period is charades. It’s a game loved by many families, but often one which comes with a second tradition. The realisation that yet again no one can think of a single charade to do.

Just recently I’ve offered my preferred salt dough recipe, some tips on creating good salt dough, and some suggestions on creating and decorating salt dough Christmas decorations. I just wanted to pop a couple of other quick tips down.

Unfortunately much of what you know about Christmas is probably wrong, so let’s dispel a few of those traditional myths. If for no other reason than providing you with something to roll out in order to liven up the Christmas dinner conversation.

It’s just asking for trouble isn’t it? It was with much gloom I discovered that December 2011 is officially Tie Month (http://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tie-month/ – honestly, I don’t make this stuff up). Why am I so gloomy? Simply because as a bloke I know that this gives everyone a golden opportunity to be ‘terribly witty’ and ‘awfully original’ by giving me ties for Christmas. Nothing says ‘Happy Christmas’ like a yard of polyester. It gets even worse when the tie happens to be a novelty tie.

With all of the Christmas planning at the moment it’s easy to overlook a few basic things, such as glasses and paper plates. So much of the time over the festive season you have plates of sausage rolls, bowls of nuts, bowls of crisps and plates of nibbly things for people, but that’s a lot of washing up.

Today we’re going to suggest an idea that you may not have ever tried, but if you have children it can really help add a good deal of magic this festive season.
