Festive book review: A Snowy Seaside Christmas by Eliza J Scott
(courtesy Storm Publishing) While any kind of Christmas romcom is usually good for the soul, helping you to believe in redemption, healing and true love, the really good ones, at least for this reader, also project a strong sense of cosy and supportive community. That’s important because finding your special Continue Reading
On 2nd day of Christmas, I watched … Oh. What. Fun.
(courtesy First Showing) Christmas is a LOT. Even if you love the season, and this reviewer loves like an elf excitedly stocking Santa’s sleigh before downing a vat of eggnog and decorating every tree in the garden, all of us reach a point, even for a second where it all Continue Reading

(courtesy Penguin Books) When you love dearly dies, suddenly everything about them becomes vitally and inviolably important. That hit home very hard to me in the wake of the passing of my dad (2016) and then my mum (2019); suddenly I need to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation every year, Continue Reading
On 1st day of Christmas … I decorated my tree with 10 new pop culture ornaments incl. Elio, Up, The Muppet Christmas Carol … and more!
(via Shutterstock) When I bought my first Christmas tree as an adult way back in 1992, I bought some pop culture ornaments but I mostly stuck to the sorts of ornaments and baubles I remembered from childhood. But as time went on, I increasingly bought more and more pop culture Continue Reading
More than a single snowflake … Thoughts on The First Snow of Fraggle Rock

For the first time ever, Gobo journeys Continue Reading
The festive short and the short of it: You’ve got a friend in the A Disney Holiday Short: Best Christmas Ever

Festive book review: Good Spirits (Ghosted, 1) by B.K. Borison
(courtesy Harper Collins Publishers Australia) Ever since Charles Dickens published his novella A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas aka A Christmas Carol in 1843, it has been adapted repeatedly (almost immediately as a play in 1844), its universally relevant truth of finding redemption in the Continue Reading
Festive movie review: Champagne Problems
(courtesy IMP Awards) In a world where hype and PR all too often turn out to have more substance than the thing they’re promoting, it’s always a pleasant, if low-key, delight when something turns out to be better than the vehicle used to promote it. Champagne Problems is one such Continue Reading
