What would Christmas be without mince pies, sloe gin and repeats of much loved family classics.
Such as "Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat..." by (smow)blog.
With its impeccable sense of meter and rhythm, the series has captured the imaginations and hearts of generations of (smow)blog readers.
To be honest we did consider replacing it this year; but that would be somewhat churlish given the place the feature has captured in the pantheon of design journalism.
And because the (smow) designer furniture collection has grown substantially over the past 12 months.
And so in the coming days we'll present a few of the new arrivals here. Naturally given the time time of year, as suggestions for seasonal gifts for friends and family.
All previous posts in this series can be found Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...
And here, to prove our commitment to continuity - and because it still makes us laugh - the same photo and caption we used to launch the feature last year.
