520    "My mother is not a foodie. But for as long as I can 
       remember, once a year, she becomes possessed of a profound
       and desperate need to serve up a perfect roast turkey. 
       Faced with a walk into the village though, she might think
       'oh, f*** it' and decide to get a frozen one from Bejams 
       on the 23rd and leave it to defrost in the downstairs 
       toilet for not quite 48 hours." From perennially dry 
       turkeys to Christmas pudding fires, from the round robin 
       code of conduct to the risks and rewards of re-gifting, An
       Almost Perfect Christmas is an ode to the joy and insanity
       of the most wonderful time of the year.
