Countdown to Christmas is a fabulously festive blog
Or that Michael Heseltine cancelled the Christmas party to save money last year?
Now you know, and to find out more interesting Xmas trivia you should visit Linda Garrould’s Countdown to Christmas blog. Her blog is a wealth of festive facts, gift ideas, recipes and tips for planning the perfect Christmas.
Although there are posts 130 days before Xmas, the actual countdown kicks off in autumn. According to Linda, Bonfire night is when the real countdown begins. But early media mentions in August are noted and her Xmas planning guides start in September. By November the blog is in full swing.
During the festive season there are lots of top tips including how to buy fair trade gifts and make handbag-hook stocking fillers. There’s delicious recipes for Christmas pudding, mulled wine and chili chutney. And there’s great advice on how to deal with Christmas crisis, such as how to handle birthdays that happen at Christmas.
It’s this attention to detail that makes Countdown To Christmas a festive favourite. It keeps you up to date and on your toes, with tips on booking trips and parties early. As well as news updates from the retail world helping you get plenty of bargains.
Linda’s monthly guides provide a timeline for all your Christmas preparations, including food, shopping and decorating. Making your Christmas planning smooth and stress free.
For Christmas ideas beyond family and friends, Countdown to Christmas also suggests some great ways to give to charity with useful links and ideas.
