Turkey crown,pigs in blankets,roasted chestnuts, roast potatoes, carrots,and so on made a great Xmas dinner lunch.

That University Challenge was an interesting choice of teams, as Magdalene College Cambridge was the last of all the traditionally male colleges in either Oxford or Cambridge to admit women, while St Hilda's was the last of the Oxford women's colleges to admit men.

That indeed sounds like quite the perfect Yule fest. ^_^ Especially if nobody can quite count the whiskies. =:)
