It’s Christmas Eve, and I shall be spending it in my festive wooden hut at Hogarths Winter Market until 6pm when we finish with a firework bonanza! It’s been a l-o-n-g December so I’m looking forward to putting my feet up, eating too much, and reading the huge stack of books I’ve
ignored collected.
In honour of the time spent freezing my… enjoying the festive market, I thought I’d re-write a festive favourite.

Every time you post something on Facebook about the market, I read it as “Hogwarts”. I guess I truly want to believe the school exist over there. Merry Christmas! 🙂
