Things that make me smile no.87

We always used to take a turn stirring the Christmas pudding mixture, and make a wish as we did so. I have no idea where this tradition comes from, but it's all part of the run-up to Christmas for me. Now that I don't live with my mum anymore, she sends us texts, telling us that she's stirring the pudding on our behalf, and to make a wish. I got mine today, and committed the unthinkable by smiling on a packed commuter train. I then sat there for a moment with my eyes closed and made my wish. No, of course I won't tell you what it was! If I did that, it wouldn't come true!
