All the ways to wish your loved ones a 'Merry Christmas'
Hear ye, hear ye! It's that time of year again. No, not the dreaded Glastonbury ticket release day... it's Christmas! Yep, Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé are officially thawing out and that means it's now perfectly acceptable to throw on a festive playlist, pour out a glass of Baileys and start putting together your Christmas present wishlist.
Already got your gifting wishlist sorted? Perhaps you'll be turning your attention to sending out all those Christmas cards instead – whether they're for your besties, your boss, or the Deliveroo driver you've befriended. Hey, it's good to have pals in high places.
