How on earth is it December? There should be an inquiry into how November just didn’t happen this year – it was a month of growing unease about how warm it was and a few discounts on pumpkin-themed sweets, and now here we are.
I’m not complaining. I’m a big Christmas girl. I don’t care how early it is – sign me up for tinsel, festive sandwiches, The Vicar of Dibley specials, Christmas FM and forced joy. As I write this, I’m listening to Mariah Carey.
