Our Favourite Christmas Films
I have A LOT of Christmas films at home on DVD. Dont get me wrong, some of them are bad, like really BAD, but others, probably due to nostalgia, demand regular viewing.
What makes a movie a Christmas Movie?
The likes of Elf, Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Santa Clause are all definitively Christmas movies. There’s no debate there.

Where will you be shopping this Christmas?
British retailer, Primark, has announced that they won’t be increasing the prices of their autumn/winter range, despite them feeling (like everyone else) the impact of rising energy bills, a cost-of-living crisis, and a looming recession.
My Memories of Volunteering on Bonfire Night

Why I’m now a Halloween fan
Previously, the only reason I bothered going out for Halloween was due to FOMO, the fear of missing out. This year, I thoroughly enjoyed my two-day spooky bender.
Is your house lit up like the Griswold’s for Halloween?
