Santa gave me ... a personally dedicated arrangement of The Trumpet Shall Sound from Handel's Messiah for brass quintet, a bronze sculpture of a hare (possibly French 19th century), several entertaining books, a scatter of candles, some scented things for bathtime, a scarf, warm socks and several boxes of chocolates! And a teach yourself belly-dancing kit ...
By the way, I have found that British persons aged in their 40s have a disproportionate fondness for candles in the home - I personally link this to our Winter of Discontent in the 1970s when there was what amounts to power rationing and we all relied on cancles for illumination ....
