For those of you who do not know me very well, you may not yet realise that I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I am the biggest sucker for it out there. I love all of the old traditions such as spending evenings in front of a roaring fire making clove orange pomanders, collecting Holly and Ivy to put on top of all my hanging pictures, roasting chestnuts and decorating the tree with real candles which are all lit on Christmas Eve.

I also love the anticipation and spending time finding gifts which my friends and family will love . . . which brings me on to this new Christmas section. I will be reviewing not only some fabulous beauty gifts and box sets but also candles, decorations, toys, clothes and much more in the lead up to this magical time of year.

Let the countdown begin!!
