It’s one week to Christmas!!! My how the year has flown…

Naturally it’s time to present all the Christmas specials we can handle – Maggie Beer’s Christmas Feast, Jamie’s Christmas With Bells On, River Cottage Christmas Special, Heston Blumenthal’s Perfect Christmas & Better Homes and Gardens: Countdown to Christmas to name but a few.

Of course the big ticket item this week is Ch7’s Carols In the Domain on Saturday night, hosted by Matt White and Natalie Barr. If you’re in Sydney it’s an institution to attend, and almost the same to ensure you’re watching at home. No better way to get into the Christmas Spirit.

If you’re not in a Chrissy mood, perhaps you can be well distracted by the season two return of The Almighty Johnsons or a Saturday night movie sure to give you the heebie jeebies – Wolf Creek.
