When I was a child, Christmas was the most exciting time of the year. To be honest, I think it was the thought of which presents I might get! I still have vivid memories of not being able to go to sleep on Christmas Eve because of the sheer anticipation and excitement of waking up every Christmas morning on our family’s yacht to find my stocking hanging beside my bunk. It was always full of mystery objects ready to be ripped open.
