Christmas carols | Delivery apps v the milkman | The joy of kissing | Garden wordsearch
Describing the Church of England’s Christmas single, In the Bleak Midwinter (Christmas No 1: LadBaby and Adele face competition from the church, 30 November), you mention the composer, Rebecca Dale, but give no credit to the poet, Christina Rossetti. She is one of the great English poets of the 19th century. For me she remains top of the pops.

• Sunday lunch is over. Various topics are discussed, including the digital revolution. Our 30-year-old son pulls his smartphone. “Cool new app, folks… Now I can get oat milk and other stuff delivered every morning before 7am. By hand. To my flat. By a real person in a van.” Granny looks up: “Yes, darling. We used to call it ‘the milkman’.”
