1. :woohoo:

Seems like we have been waiting forever!

2. I heard there was a Downton Christmas Special...

over in the U.K. I wonder if we'll get it? There was a "Call the Midwife" Christmas special on last week too. I recorded it.

4. I read somewhere that we will see it in the spring.

At the end of the current season. We'll have to wait!

Yes, I watched the "Midwife" special. It was wonderful, of course!

3. The Great British Baking Show?

Are you watching this? I wonder how it will do here in America.... It's an extremely difficult competition show. Makes our cooking/ baking shows look like childsplay. There is no prize either. It's like the U.K. version of Masterchef is extremely hard and much more serious than the one in the U.S. with Gordon Ramsay. And there is no prizes on that show either. They just do it for the title.

7. I saw the first one -- loved it!

Who would have thought watching people bake "sponge" and roll it up and decorate it would be so riveting?

8. The special that followed it (about "manners") was really good too!

They pay such careful attention to every exquisite detail, even the doffing of a hat or how to hold one's hands.
