azzling ecorations A beautifully-decked tree should be the focal point on the home at Christmas and this year there's an array of styles to choose from. With Christmas on the way, it's almost time to deck the halls, dress the tree and turn your home into a seasonal sanctuary. A beautifully decked tree should be the focal point of the home at Christmas and this year there's an array of styles to choose from. You can indulge a passion for purple, be truly traditional, shimmer with metallics, or stay true to your 'green' principles with ecofriendly touches. But if the festivities inspire a 'Bah humbug!' feeling or you prefer a 'cool Yule' keeping fuss and decoration to a minimum, there are plenty of effects that are chic and glamorous rather than garish.
Next and Sainsbury's bargain bauble collections are bursting with purples and their shade partner, lilac. Next's mixed bauble set of 100 costs £20, while Sainsbury's baubles start from £1.99 each. Flamboyant designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is never slow to spot a trend - his collection for Matalan's Influence range features decadent purple and gold baubles, from £4. Complement them with Lakeland's clip-on purple Butterflies, £7.99 for three, and its purple and gold beads and sequins garland, £7.99.
Nostalgic style This charming look evokes memories of Christmases past. A tree should be prettily decorated in traditional red, white and green, and don't forget to give pride of place to cherished decorations made by youngsters.
A purple wonderland Purple's the favourite colour scheme for rooms this winter, and you could echo the trend by letting its rich, glowing shades give a touch of opulence and luxury to a tree. "Decorations in rich, nocturnal colours such as plum add a spot of velvety indulgence that's comforting for long, dark winter days. Combine with accents of teal and glittering gold to give the look a distinctive, fashionable edge." says Marnie Janaway, Sainsbury's head of home design Get the look: B&Q and Argos both have purple trees if you truly want to embrace this style or go for a brilliant contrast by hanging those richly coloured decorations on a black tree, such as Matalan's luxury black tree, £20.

"Nothing beats the traditional festive palette of red, white and green," says Marnie. Get the look: Matalan's large faux fir tree is a snip at £15, or at Homebase, real trees start from £9.99. Lakeland's Christmas decorations are a must for traditionalists, with miniature felt Santas, four for £4.99, while a set of red and white Scandi-style snowflakes, trees, stars and reindeer, is a seasonal snip at £6.99. Continue the red and white theme with a famous reindeer duo, Dancer & Prancer for £9.99 from Lakeland, which could sit on a mantel ready for Santa's arrival.

THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS DINNER As we hit the festive season we look at the latest Christmas dinner trends and explore the best way to cook your turkey, goose or even rabbit this year.
Cider roast turkey (From BBC Good Food Magazine) For the turkey: 4.5 to 6kg turkey, giblets removed and kept 450g stuffing 2 leeks, trimmed and halved 2 carrots, halved 50g butter, softened 300ml dry cider For the gravy: 300ml dry cider 600ml chicken stock 2tbsp quince or redcurrant jelly Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Wash and dry the turkey, removing any feathers. Pull out the giblets and the neck, then set aside. Lift up the skin that covers the neck opening, then stuff the stuffing up and under the skin, securing it tightly underneath with a skewer or two cocktail sticks. Weigh the stuffed turkey. Calculate the cooking time, allowing 40 mins per kg (20 mins per lb). Put the leeks and carrots along the hen it comes to selecting the Christmas roast, turkey is the obvious bottom of a roasting tin in a single layer - this will make a trivet for the turkey to sit on and add flavour to the choice for many, but it seems this gravy.

In a poll of 2,400 readers, BBC Good Food Magazine found that turkey is still the most popular centre-piece. Meanwhile sales of other seasonal meats are also soaring, with British beef sales up 20%, while gammon is on the rise with one in 10 families tucking into this succulent joint at the dinner table. Here are two recipes assured to keep you on trend this Christmas:
To test that the turkey is ready, pierce the thigh through its thickest part; the juices should run clear. Take the turkey out and leave to rest, covered with a clean tea towel. Leave to rest for up to 1 hour. Now make the gravy. Drain the fat and juices from the tin into a jug, discarding the veg and the neck. Place the tin over a flame, then pour in the cider, scraping up the flavourfilled crusty bits with a wooden spoon. Reduce the cider by half, then strain into a saucepan.

HONDACR-Z On the hybrid technology front HONDA has charted a slightly different path to its main rival, Toyota.
I
nstead of offering buyers the ability to run a car completely on battery power, Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) technology predictably assists the car's petrol engine but never acts as a substitute.
The end result is a lighter, more compact package motor, battery, assorted electronics - as there's no heavy lifting, battery-only driving to be done. It also means there's no need for a big petrol engine if it's regularly receiving assistance from an electric motor.
Pitched at a more youthful audience seeking the benefits we're all familiar with plus the enjoyment you get from running a warmed-over compact hatchback, the CR-Z boasts the looks and the performance to satisfy both your head and your heart. It's even been designed with a very sporting two-plus-two seating arrangement, confirming that the real focus is on front seat occupants.
Unusually for a hybrid, the raw data only tells half the story. Other more eco-focused models might trump the CR-Z's economy and emissions figures (56.5mpg, All this talk of light weight and lean construction wouldn't 117g/km CO2), but the little Honda's on-road be out of place if the subject matter was a sports car. performance (9.9 seconds to 62mph, 124mph top Until now hybrids have been worthy, fuel-sipping speed) is right up there with more conventional machines for those seeking to save money, petrol and alternatives. And remember, this is a hybrid that's the planet. But what if you could have it all: economy, been tuned for fun, making the car's 1.5-litre, 114 low emissions and fun. horsepower engine and motor combo all the more According to Honda now you can, with its rakish CR-Z impressive. offering a slightly different take on hybrid motoring.

Ideal for low stress
urban motoring
Just to prove Honda is deadly serious about pitching the CR-Z as a sporty model, it has fitted the wedge-shaped car with a conventional six-speed manual gearbox. No slush-box auto here, and in true Honda fashion the shifter is super-short and slick just like that of a Civic Type R. And even with three pedals you still get an auto engine stop-start function as standard. On the road the CR-Z offers drivers a firm yet engaging experience. You sit low down in the car, further enhancing its racy appeal, and corners can be attacked with considerable enthusiasm. And it's when you're pressing on that the extra assistance from the car's electric motor makes a valuable contribution. That overtaking manoeuvre or uphill sprint is easily despatched with the aid of some additional electric power. We're not talking warp-factor acceleration here, but just enough to see your pace quicken a few notches.
cars to choose from, while the CR-Z is surprisingly practical for what is in reality a two-seat coupe for grown -ups. Cabin storage space plus a sizable boot and rear folding seats ensure daily life doesn't have to be a compromise. The CR-Z performs well in the context of delivering thrills at a time when saving money and fuel have become the dominant activities. Styling the car like something from the 25th century is further proof that Honda remains a risk-taker, which should be applauded.
The situation is further enhanced by the car's sport mode, which channels even more electric power if you want to throw caution and economy to the wind. It's in this mode that the CR-Z is at its most entertaining and makes you wonder how conservative those on-paper performance figures really are. Take the opposite approach - select the car's economy mode - and you'll instantly experience a more conservative throttle response. Ideal for low stress urban motoring, it's now that it should appeal to your greener side. Keeping you in the loop when switching between modes is the car's array of predictably futuristic instruments and displays. The CR-Z wouldn't be a hybrid Honda if the speedometer didn't glow red if you used too much throttle, for example. Overall there are parallels with Civic's interior, as the gently curving fascia, outstanding build quality and clear (if a little wacky) displays should make Honda's fan feel at home. On balance the CR-Z delivers a better real world performance than its figures suggest possible. The modest range offers buyers a trio of well equipped
