Nigella Lawson

In my defense, I was sipping on an empty stomach. And I was with Nigella Lawson, a beautiful woman who has made a career of bringing out the steamy side of cooking. We were at the posh Soho House, sitting in overstuffed easy chairs and chatting about her new book, "Nigella Christmas." At least for a few minutes. "There is something very comforting about making a festival out of something that relies on cold and darkness," she said. "People are always told you can have a stress-free holiday.

We all know what it’s like to go into hostess meltdown, when instead of feeling glad everyone’s coming over, you start feeling panicked and resentful, and even a little tearful.

When I was a teenager, I confess I showed the utmost disdain for the holidays. I didn’t just not see the point; I condemned others for even suggesting there might be a point. What was all this unseemly fuss about having a good time? As everyone knows, the whole point of adolescent life is that you don’t have a good time, or if you do, you mustn’t show it, let alone exhibit it noisily and--a most heinous crime--at home.  Funny how things change, how we change.
