From Equinox to Solstice, Diwali to Epiphany - countdown to Christmas with poems, inspirations and little moments of comfort and joy.

Perhaps you'll have a go at making sloe gin when the berries are ripe in the hedgerows, or make popcorn on Walt Disney's birthday, or settle down with a hot chocolate to read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. You might be tempted to peel a satsuma whilst discovering a little bit more about this festive fruit, or learn how many cultures hold ancient festivals of light.

Or you might decide to simply take a moment to pause and enjoy a little page of peace in the whirl of counting down the sleeps. Let us guide you through this most magical time of year . . .
