It’s that time of the year again. Dried turkey is considered a delectable source of nutrition. Crap jokes are seen as acceptable dinner conversation. And insufferable cousins are permitted to fart loudly at dinner because they are considered ‘guests’. As well as it being the intolerable festive season, it’s also Awards Season.
