When we think about Christmas, we a ll have a peaceful and idyllic version of the big day in our heads. Snow is falling outside, the whole family have put their phones down and are getting along and the Christmas dinner is being calmly prepared in the kitchen for the most look forwarded-to meal of the year. U nfortunately, that’s not usually what happens.
I think in every family there will always be arguments over who gets to put what on the TV, nobody wants to share their toys and the younger members of the family don’t want to change out of their Spiderman pyjamas to take a festive family photo, at least, that’s the case in my family. But there is one way to ensure your Christmas Day runs a bit more smoothly in the kitchen department and that’s through a digital thermometer. A d igital thermometer is one of those things that come in handy , but you only realise you could do with having one when you desperately need it, a bit like Nanny McPhee.
