One last nod to Christmas 23 before we leave it behind for ever!
Here are two starting points for a possible piece of writing for us to share on Thursday 11th: choose whichever appeals.
Spoof Christmas roundup letter
I think it was Jude who suggested this: make up one of those round robin Christmas letters that some people include in their christmas card. You know the kind of thing: It's really been quite the year, with Freddie gaining a triple first at Cambridge, Beatrice starting her first job in a merchant bank (on £80 000 a year, lol - but with a promise of a raise in six months!), Mary writing her fifth best-seller (sorry, not meaning to boast!) - and me completing a one-man expedition to the north and south poles in the space of three months (it's okay, am nearly over the frostbite!)...
It could be from a made up person, or possibly from a well-known figure whom you find particularly inspirational - eg Suella Braverman? Michelle Mone?
Ghosts of Christmas past
This doesn't have to include ghosts - it's simply an invitation to remember a particular Christmas in the past - or perhaps more generally, how Christmas used to be when you were a child. (Think of decorations, family traditions, food, presents, weather - and how Christmas felt then.)
