The weather might be perpetually coloured Britannic-Grey, but the abundance of twinkling lights and street food vendors selling everything from mulled wine to roast chestnuts never fails to imbue me with Yuletide spirit. Consequently, I have always found York to be a pleasurable and calm place to spend the final day before Christmas.īrass bands and choirs gather in the square outside Betty’s tearoom.
With many fearing the rush of last-minute shopping, most people actively avoid town bedding themselves in at home to commence the seasonal feasting. It is precisely that response which makes it such a good idea to go shopping in York on Christmas Eve.
Most people usually have a particularly violent reaction when I tell them this – recoiling in horror before certifying me as clinically insane. I would get up early and drive to York, parking on the outskirts before getting the Park and Ride into town. Up until a few years ago, I used to do the majority of my Christmas Shopping on the 24 th December – Christmas Eve. Creamy and soft, it’s perfect for homemade Christmas gifts Easy Vanilla Fudge requires no special kitchen equipment – just a pan, a timer and a whisk.
