So enthused was I that I did the hall while listening to some weird old Christmas songs. Old isn't always best.
I don't know if readers overseas will be familiar with the old BBC sitcom The Good Life. It featured a young couple living in the London suburbs and trying to be self-sufficient. Their neighbours and friends, Margo and Jerry, are just the opposite, enjoying what they see as the good things of life. Margo is a dreadful snob.
There is a Christmas Special I've been trying to find on iplayer because it's not really Christmas until I've watched it - even though I can almost recite the words. In it Margo's Christmas Eve order from Harrods (?) is not up to her standards so she sends it back and then is shocked to discover they won't redeliver on Christmas Day. Hence, "Christmas is cancelled."

I hope you find your special episode of "The Good Life." That classic BBC sitcom was never broadcast in Canada (at least, not on any channel I had) but I have heard of it.
Our yearly watch is Sim’s Christmas Carol, but we have seen it so many times now that I don’t know if we will watch it again.
I have never seen The Good Life. I don’t think it was broadcast here. It will be interesting to see if other Canadians saw it.
When my husband was still alive we had to watch A Christmas Carol every year.
The Good Life looks fun. I've never heard of it. It's probably not available here. The cookies sound yummy!
The Good Life was funny. Much of the comedy from days past was good.
