Growing up, I was always a great help to my mum, especially for parties and entertaining, buzzing around cleaning up after guests. I think being so involved gave me a real love of entertaining and playing party hostess. My kids do much the same, helping me set up parties, and they're always in the kitchen lending a hand especially when I'm under pressure and running out of time! This year I'm going to get them more involved with Christmas day - cooking the turkey, setting the table, big tasks that they can take credit for. I think if kids put in an effort and give others pleasure they'll get more out of the day - then it's just not about the presents!
