Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Every year, as soon as Halloween is over, suddenly it’s Christmas time. Starbucks have their limited edition mugs, Boots have their 3 for 2 on Christmas gifts, and yet again we hear “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

BY EMMA GALLEN

It’s not Christmas until the first Advent Candle has been lit and the first chocolate has been taken from my Advent calendar. I love Christmas; I love Phil Spector, velvet and that Christmas smell. But I like it in December. Don’t want to peak too soon. Disheartens me to know that it is next week when Santa comes to Castlecourt. So the weather outside is not yet frightful (it’s actually sunny in Belfast at the minute), and it’s not time for Mistletoe, but I won’t be saying no to any wine. It’s also not any of the other clichés I’m trying to resist using. It’s November. Not Christmas!
