One day into the Christmas season and the war has started against it. Christmas is my favourite time of the year for many reasons… I love hanging out with my family, having Christmas treats, festive drinks, hangouts with friends, seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces, I like seeing Christmas decorations including the beautiful Christmas lights
