WELCOME
I can’t wait for Christmas!
It’s never too early to celebrate, and I’ll
never get too old to act like a kid for
the entire month of December. I love
everything about it – the music, the
lights, the gift buying, the social
gatherings, and of course the
bottomless tubs of chocolate.

I’m proud to say I’ve completed all of
my Christmas shopping (I can’t quite
believe it either), so I’m looking forward
to a chilled out lead-up to Santa’s arrival.
If you’re still in holiday shopping mode (or
haven’t started yet), take a look at our
40-page Christmas Gift Guide featuring
plenty of ideas for him, her, kids, foodies,
