Favourite movie: National Lampoon s Christmas Vacation, in all of its retro 80s glory.
Favourite book: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. For several years, I have reread the original in a comfortable chair by the tree. It is a story that transcends time, unfortunately, about the extremes of the haves and the have nots . There is redemption, generosity and, ultimately, hope. Good themes for 2021.
