What’s so special about September? The sun is poking its head through the clouds and the days are slowly getting longer, but what else can we look forward to? September is a serene time full of sunny days and cool nights where only the presence of Christmas decorations that make their way onto store shelves startle us with how fast the year has passed. It’s the inevitable calm before the so called ‘Christmas storm’ - where we’ll be standing over hot stoves cooking festive meals, fighting through masses of people in department stores and spending the day with certain family members that you love but are thankful when they head home at the end of the day. So we suggest you make the most of this calm while you can and start thinking about your Christmas activities during this year’s festive season. Who do you need to make gifts for? What can you make them? What about decorating the home? Well, we’re all for getting started now – so the panic doesn’t set in when we get to November, when we realise just how little time we have left to the big day! Which is why we you’ll find our latest issue of Handmade is the first of our Christmas specials – and why you’ll find yuletide-themed goodies throughout this newsletter! But for now, just relax, take some time out of your day to read our newsletter and be inspired to getting ahead for Christmas. Don’t forget to tell all your friends about our fantastic newsletter – make sure they sign up as they go in the monthly draw for a fantastic tea gift hamper from World Par-Tea valued at over $65. Enjoy!
