Tinsel, people!
The tree has more tinsel than needles, there's Hawaiian toast in the oven and “Last Christmas” is on repeat on the turntable. Dig the ugliest sweater out of your wardrobe – we're doing Secret Santa like the good old days.
Until Wham! comes on
Today is the day.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really have to wear a sweater?
Yes. Turn up without one and you'll get one of ours. It's worse.
How do we do Secret Santa?
Choose your name above and draw a lot. On the night we’ll roll the dice – and swapping is allowed.
Is there anything vegetarian?
The mince hedgehog is vegan, and the cheese hedgehog is veggie anyway. The Hawaiian toast comes with smoked tofu.
