This week I have decided not to celebrate the 25th of December and not wind myself up into knots for the next week or so. I have tried not to fall into the trap of commercial glory and fall foul of the tribal bullies for  one day of feasting that will be over in  a blink.  Instead I honour these hyacinths: I have watched them daily for about six weeks; granted they were in a darken room for while but since ‘coming out’ they have given me daily joy and will for weeks after the 25th December.
