After looking forward to some great Christmas recipes (Feast, 29 November), I was somewhat disappointed with the first one “raw vegetables and olive oil”. Now I am not much of a cook, but even I do not need a recipe for that. What next, “peeled orange”?

Tesco’s choice for Christmas: mushroom wellington (Feast, 29 November). Wasn’t that the dish an Australian woman used to poison her family? Tuck in. It’s fine.

Well, Nigel Farage has suggested that he will boycott the BBC (Farage turns on broadcasters over racism allegations as number of claims hits 28, 4 December). Thank you, Santa. Just a chocolate orange as well and that’s my Christmas presents sorted.

One year I told my son that I would put a sprout in each one of the drawers, and that by the 24th there’d be enough for Christmas dinner (Why did I ever buy my kids refillable advent calendars?, 2 December). I never did … Bad mum.

Well, of course snail farms are run by shell companies (The snail farm don: is this the most brazen tax avoidance scheme of all time?, 4 December).
