Whether you’re an ‘all is calm’ or an ‘all is bright’ person at Christmas, at some point you’ll want a silent night (or morning, or afternoon). And that’s where The Simple Things comes in. Read it by a twinkling tree with a tipple or at the kitchen table, mug in hand and carols in the background; we’re here with you through this hectic but joyful month. A merry midwinter doesn’t mean packing every day with must dos, to dos and shopping lists. Taking time to remember what matters and keeping a ‘could-do’ list to hand will help.
This December issue is full of ideas and before you know it, you’ll be jotting them down with good intentions. Do not attempt to do them all! Gather friends and family for a Boxing Day buffet or have starlight tipples in the garden. You could make mini wreaths, scrapbag garlands or painted candles, while something that smells gorgeous simmers on the stove. Then press pause and elope for ten minutes, an hour, or even a day... Whether you read all afternoon, don a spot of sparkle or become a solstice reveller, the way to a happy Christmas is about doing what you enjoy. Best wishes from all of us atThe Simple Things.
