By tradition we always fire the Christmas pudding.

Last Christmas Maman asked me to light the Christmas pudding over which I glugged a bit too much Cognac. It will be positively the last time. I'm glad I pulled back in time - when a small mushroom cloud of flames belched from the pudding to blacken the ceiling!

Maman said she'll do it future, but her language would have made a sailor blush. And she and our friend Simon rued the time never to play Monopoly with Julie and me. We thrashed them and came out dual victors.

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas A. Edison.

Thomas Edison tried over two thousand times to invent the lightbulb.
