Lucy’s Passion for Christmas

Lucy Kennedy admitted she’s “obsessed” with Christmas. She’s a lover of all things festive, starting her Christmas shopping early, as she puts it – “fail to prepare, prepare to fail.” Lucy begins gathering presents in September and ramps up her festive spirit in November, stocking up on everything from “booze and food” to decorative surprises.

“I just love Christmas so much,” she confesses. “I’ve had my tree up since the last week of November.”

On Christmas Day itself, Lucy will be heading to her sister’s house, where her brother-in-law, a “brilliant cook,” will be taking care of the Christmas feast.

The morning festivities will kick off early with the kids, waking up at half past seven to check their stockings while Lucy tries to sneak in a cup of tea.

“It’s really lovely,” Lucy comments.
