And on the twelfth day of Christmas

By Angela Bensemann and Jane Comben


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there…’


And here it is - tomorrow is Christmas in all its shiny wrapping paper, tinselled decorations, reindeers, elves and Santa hats. For some of us Christmas is a chance to celebrate the birth of Christ, catch up with family and friends or finally get that great present we’ve been waiting for. 

Perhaps you don’t celebrate Christmas at all but embrace the few days off work, the sales in the shops and the excuse to eat and drink as much as you like for a few days without criticism.
Whatever you are doing these holidays, whether It’s mid-winter or summer, make sure it’s a safe one and keep your eye on what really matters.
 
Here’s our top 12 loves of Christmas:
  • Getting together with family and friends
  • Christmas carols
  • Tinsel and wrapping paper
  • Twinkly lights
  • Chocolates and mince pies
  • Thoughtful presents
  • Pohutakawa trees in bloom
  • The lyrics to ‘Grandma got run over by a reindeer’
  • BBQing (often as not in the rain)
  • The favourite uncle falling asleep after a few beers
  • Time off work
  • And last but not least a good excuse to eat whatever you like
Merry Christmas from Angela and Jane at WorksWonders.
