A friendly reminder before December

First and foremost, please stay safe, everyone! Shops will be busier and busier as Christmas approaches, so try to shop when it’s quieter or online and make sure you wear your mask. Plus, if COVID doesn’t scare you, then long queues should, so however you look at it, it’s better to plan ahead.

Secondly, please don’t let all the stress and agitation ruin your Christmas cheer. If you like reading and need something to relax at the end of the day, check out the B-Side Advent Calendar.

I selected 25 Christmas stories - short, long, poems, and novellas - one for every day until Christmas.

Let December begin!
