In this episode I will talk about how you can navigate the season with joy and ease and at no point do I give you a list about what to cook and when. Why? Because Christmas shouldn't look the same for everyone.

I look at how we can look at our intentions. How we can use last year as a benchmark for good. And explain why it is important to speak up and claim space for ourselves.

I read an excerpt from this book by Nigel Slater The Christmas Chronicals

I mention this book by Jeanette Winterson 12 Days of Christmas

Today I look at how we gain comfort and joy. From the practical to the non tangible but life giving tasks we can give others as well as ourselves.

I do my very best impression of Ben Affleck (I am lying I didn't try).
