My school rugby coach once caught me looking at the opposition as they arrived off their coach. He made a statement of such glaring clarity and simplicity to anyone who has worn a number 12 or 13 jersey that it has always stayed with me. He said "Don't focus on the players they have, focus on the gaps between them."
Last Summer a colleague of mine retired. She taught Chemistry and is moving into the Lay Ministry in her retirement. She always spoke of a time shortly after Christmas when she was completely fed up with Roast fare and simply craved Egg and Chips. In this The Christian Scientist was echoing a feeling that many of us get at Yule.
It is essential that you have your version of Egg and chips in store before you embark on the collective turkey lunacy.
For me it is Risotto rice and some stock cubes which simply must be there. For others, it will be pasta and tomato sauce or maybe a baked potato.
Shop early for these staples, and you will always be able to deal with your own moment when enough is enough.
