It wouldn't be Christmas…

…without:-
1. A Christmas Cake, by Kat, to Alice's recipe. I wonder how short it'll last this time?  Not cut into by the 29th. Now then, THERE'S  first.
( ;¬ o)
2. An array of the assembled hoard.

To be fair there'a a wee bit more, but either less worthy of a mesh - OR - scheduled to be seen a little later; like tomorrow.
