A big hello from Cinebling HQ!

This time next week, it'll be Christmas Day - wow, where has the year gone? 😱 (I say that every year, and make that exact face, too! 😂)

Today is the last day for placing any orders with me, so if you have been meaning to and forgotten, go now!

Take me to the shiny things!

I wrote a post earlier in the week when I found out that there was a hashtag called #christmasstress. While the elusive 'Christmas spirit' is different for everyone, and we definitely get it in very different amounts, the season is supposed to be about goodwill and happiness. I hate the idea that anyone would be worrying about sending me a card or giving me a gift, and even worse is the idea that people could be getting into debt to give people presents (anyone else watched Martin Lewis's show lately?)

The best gift you can give is you; a healthy, happy, not-stressed you. We send cards and buy gifts to people who we love and who love us - the people who will totally understand if we don't send the cards on time or we can't buy a present this year or if we're freaking out about something. And if they don't love us, well, is it worth the energy worrying about what they think?

I'll get off my high horse, but just wanted to pop in a reminder that it's OK to take care of yourself - especially in these crazy times! 💖

Lastly, if you're getting anything but a 'sentimental feeling' when you hear Christmas music right now (it's somehow everywhere!) I've got just the thing! Check out Caitlin Hall's awesome picks for the best original songs in movies, and you're sure to find a fab track that won't turn you into the Grinch. Everyone needs a breather now and again, right?

Glad we got that sorted!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the slightly smaller big day next week.

Joy
