This month’s CONTRIBUTORS

Merry Christmas

COVER STORIES…

A time for gifting • From card games to chocolates we’ve found the perfect presents for £20 and under

Jeremy Paxman • As some pensioners struggle to make ends meet while others live the good life, thanks to a huge retirement fund, our columnist believes it’s time to level up

Jenni Murray • Thinking of gifting a pet this Christmas? As our columnist knows all too well, caring for animals comes with its hazards

IN MY EXPERIENCE… • The actor, 60, on his love of babies, having three famous brothers and how he nearly lost his wife Heidi Thomas, creator and writer of Call the Midwife, in which he has starred for the past 12 years

This month we talk… Christmas • Each month our insight team conducts an in-depth poll of Saga customers to find out what you’re thinking. This month: Christmas

Having a blast • Actor and self-confessed ‘Space Geek’ Tom Hanks, 67, reveals how he was affected by his parents’ divorce, why he only chooses roles he thinks will be fun, and that he’d clean astronauts’ boots if it meant travelling to the Moon

Meet the richest donkeys in the world • A Christmas card staple, donkeys have a special place in our hearts – so special in fact that donkey charities receive tens of millions of pounds in donations every year. What’s their appeal, and can they win over a sceptic?

Back in the saddle • After a seven-year hiatus, Jilly Cooper, 86, is back with a new novel and an upcoming TV series. Here she talks about football, her late husband’s jokes and having the PM as a fan

Season’s bleatings: Christmas on the farm • From hand-plucking warm turkeys to finding a puppy under the tree, Countryfile presenter Adam Henson, 57, shares festive memories of life growing up on his Cotswolds farm

Spread the word • Food stuff, green stuff, fun stuff, kids’ stuff… Books make the perfect Christmas gifts – and there’s something for everyone

Pub quiz of the year 2023 • From Happy Valley and Prince Harry to footballers, films and fixed penalty notices, test your knowledge of the past 12 months with our bumper set of tricky teasers…

‘This year we are rolling two Christmases into one’ • Last Christmas Sarah Beeny, 51, was in the middle of gruelling breast cancer treatment, but this year, she’s looking forward to celebrating with her family at home in Somerset, albeit the day will be tinged with sadness after the recent loss of her father

Roll out the barrel • Savour a biscuit… and be sure to save the tin! After all, you could be holding on to something worth more than a few crumbs

The new seekers • From lumps of iron to large hauls of Roman coins, metal detectorists are never sure what their next find may be. But for many, that’s the joy of the hobby, and why more and more people are taking up the hunt for treasure

DIGGING THE DIRT

It’s never too late to… challenge yourself • Aged 59, retired fashion forecaster Jani Rad resolved to try 60 new things before 60. Since then, she’s done everything from zip lining over land to stripping off on a beach…

Make it magical • It’s the perfect time to get stuck in to some simple creative projects to fill your home with festive charm
