Christmas is coming.

Its beginning to smell a lot like Christmas!  My nose is never mistaken.  So, I'm volunteering for extra kitchen duties.

This is my 'oh do let me help you, Mum' look.  A smiggin of whining accompanies it.  Starting out very quietly and gradually rising in volume.

... and it ALWAYS works!  Mum is a pushover for tidbits.

Dad is a bit harder nut to crack - I manage to overcome his resistance in the end, but it takes a bit more work.

Waiting for Santa.
