3. Represents Christmas with the kids (I don’t tend to share photos of them on my author socials) they insisted we leave nine carrots out for all the reindeer because they weren’t keen on Father Christmas’s favouritism…

(they had forgotten the context of the other reindeers being knobheads. But then I suppose, forgiveness and redemption is a good Christmas message, too)
5. Beautiful flowers from the florist in my life. Was so good to see a friend I’ve not seen in ages and there should be a word for the joy you feel when your friend finds happiness because it’s a lovely feeling.
6. Finally, I’m generally not a Christmas person and have had to get over my aversion to this time of year since having kids and I’m glad I have because it’s everything to them but it’s important to share that it’s a hard time for lots of us and really hard fucking work for a lot of us, too…
Give yourself a break, take yourself off, like Thomas in that photo. Decompress. Don’t feel guilty. If you can curl up on top of a wardrobe and avoid human contact for an hour, do, but if not, go for a walk, have a nap or a bath. If anyone has a problem they can ring me and I’ll give them hell ❤️
