Best Of: Christmas Films
Christmas films are very important to me. Both the good and the bad (in fact, sometimes the bad are the most fun). One of my favourite things about Christmas is the ritual of watching new additions that inevitably appear on streaming services like Netflix but, mostly, re-visiting the old classics. It’s no coincidence that, even […]

Alternative Christmas Present Ideas
Christmas has come around again already, and now is the time to start thinking about presents for your nearest and dearest. The cost of Christmas adds up quickly, and sometimes it reaches a ridiculous level and starts to compromise our financial security and personal sanity. I’m planning some alternative Christmas present ideas this year to […]
December as a Christmas Grinch
The change of month from November to December is a dramatic transition. I ache for the days when I could be unencumbered by Christmas carols ringing in my ear every time I browse a shop.
