Sweeten up the guests at your next gathering.
This year seems to have gone so fast, which is slightly alarming. All of a sudden Christmas parties are on the horizon.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy about it but sometimes life seems to whoosh right by. Already the social diary is starting to fill up.
I love
this time of year because, despite the self-enforced pressure of needing to get everything done by the end of the year (why do we do that?) we still set aside quality time to catch up with the most important people in our lives - family, friends and work colleagues.
Meeting at a cool location can be good fun but taking time to create a welcoming, festive environment at home somehow makes a gathering feel all the more special.
