Can I share something sweet with you please?

I've done a master plan of meal planning, shopping list for food for Christmas eve day and boxing day. Present list and Christmas card list.

I opened my Cookery Year book (yes, OK, very 1970s but DOES have everything you want it need recipe wise) in order to stick it in for future reference.

I found a timeline of Christmas Day my late father had written including when to put turkey in, time to open presents etc.

My father must have written it in the 70s-80s. He died when I was 11 but I guess my pedantry comes from him. I don't have many memories of him but this was lovely.

Gorgeous, and lovely you have found it.

That’s so lovely! It’ll be like he’s helped to plan your Christmas this year if you follow some of his timings.

That’s really lovely, how happy he would be to think of you finding that now as you plan Christmas for your family.

My dad used to plan that also and meticulous write down ,put turkey in ,pits.
Wonderful note to have found 😍🌲

Id probably frame that and have it in kitchen as part of Xmas kitchen decor.

That's lovely.

Oh how lovely 😍. Precious.

how lovely!

Next year I’d do Christmas on his timeline! A lovely thing to have found

That’s lovely.

id preserve it somehow because paper is frail.

My mum wrote me her boiled fruitcake recipe and since she died I have it non an ikea clear ziplock bag as its something she has written but the paper is so oil stained I’m afraid it’ll deteriorate.

I did that with my grandma's Christmas cake recipe. This lady embroidered it in grandma"s handwriting and everyone cried it was so beautiful

That is so lovely, it actually made me shiver a little.

This is what I was going to say

I’m going to cry Op. how lovely you have found it

This. Put it in the kitchen so it feels like he’s with you as you prepare Christmas dinner 🥰

How beautiful :) Little things like that feel like a tiny moment of him reaching through time to you.

Maybe you was meant to find it.

You must definitely follow it now.

Be interesting to know how it all turns out.
