It’s December the 4th and Christmas really is all around. There was a lovely news item yesterday about a letter to Father Christmas, written back in the late 1930s being discovered up a chimney in a big house being renovated in Powys.

It’s nearly December and although those pesky Facebook friends have been posting for months that Christmas is nearly upon us it really is now coming up fast.

Finally, I think that I have a handle on Christmas this year, at last!

What is your favourite Christmas tradition? What makes it feel like Christmas more than anything else for you?

These days it feels like we are bombarded with Christmas from as soon as the kids go back to school in September and with all the Black Friday shenanigans the shine seems to have dulled on the festive season for me this year.

Every year I decide that this will be the year I finally get properly organised with my Christmas shopping.

The presents have been opened and a dent made in the turkey, now do you relax or join those taking the plunge in the annual Tenby Boxing Day Dip!

Christmas Greetings from Wales Holidays to all our friends and colleagues wherever you are staying today; we wish you a very Happy Christmas and hope that you have an enjoyable day!

If the ever present mince pie is not one of your favourite things over Christmas time, then his year, why not try your hand at Welsh Cakes instead?

Why not get away as a family this Christmas amid the winter crisp scenery of Mid Wales. Enjoy great days out from a cosy country cottage! There is always plenty to do in Mid Wales and this holiday season is no exception.
