I'm a sucker for the whole Victorian Christmas experience so I've already pre-ordered Charles Dickens - A Christmas Dinner. Elizabeth David's Christmas is a new American edition of food writer David's posthumous collection of Christmas related articles. I highly recommend it.
It goes without saying that I've already got my order in for Christmas Beer!
