This title might sound unconventional, but it is a sequel of sorts. You see, back in 2019 (god, that feels like aeons ago) I wrote about my conflicting feelings about Christmas. If you care to read the original, here it is. In summary, I was working a less-than-ideal job that was hellish around the festive season.... Continue Reading →

With only 12 days to go until Christmas, I thought it might be a good idea to share some seasonal book recommendations with you. Grab a fuzzy blanket, a mug of freshly made hot chocolate and put on your tackiest but cosiest Christmas jumper. It's time to get into the festive spirits with some brilliant... Continue Reading →
Christmas shopping, one of the most stressful parts of the holiday in my opinion. Admittedly, this is coming from someone who worked retail for about three years and grew to hate the holiday because of it. Let me tell you, nothing kills Christmas cheer like being yelled at because you ran out of an item.... Continue Reading →
Only three days to go! While my Christmas spirit still hasn't kicked in, I am looking forward to the special day. I hope you get everything you desire under the tree this year and dig into so much good food that you will still be full on Boxing Day! It's going to be a quieter... Continue Reading →
