Merry Christmas …<br />

...and welcome to our biggest <strong>issue</strong> of the year!<br />

164 pages packed with everything you need to make<br />

this Christmas extra special. As well as your usual<br />

Yours favourites we have two extra sections so there’s<br />

even more to enjoy. Our 8-page Make Christmas Easy<br />

section (p75) is stuffed with tips and tricks to take<br />

the stress out of the season and the 20-page Festive<br />

Puzzling Fun section (p115) is crammed with<br />

brainteasers that will keep you busy for hours.<br />

We also have gorgeous party looks (p32),<br />

tried and tested festive food (p59), seasonal<br />

mood boosters (p44), handmade decorations<br />

(p86), beauty gifts for every budget (p39) and<br />

lots of fun things to do for all the family (p101).<br />

But we also know that for some, Christmas<br />

can be a difficult time, especially<br />

those on their own. If you are facing a<br />

lonely Christmas, turn to page 69 to<br />

find scores of people looking for likeminded<br />

friends to spend Christmas<br />

with this year.<br />
