Welcome to J’AIME<br />
There’s no escaping the fact that Christmas <strong>2020</strong><br />
will be a Christmas like no other. After a character<br />
building year we could all do with a festive season<br />
packed with friends, family and fun. Yet here we are,<br />
at the beginning of advent calendar season, with<br />
no real clue of what our world will look like come<br />
<strong>December</strong> 25.<br />
Here at J’AIME we aim to be positive and uplifting.<br />
We want to give you everyday inspiration and<br />
hopefully add a little sunshine to your life in the<br />
process. We hope the <strong>December</strong> edition will do just<br />
that - whatever your month has in store.<br />
At the time of going to press the national lockdown<br />
was due to end on <strong>December</strong> 2, so within our pages<br />
you’ll find ideas for days out, festive fun to be found<br />
and shops to visit for everything you need to prepare<br />
for Santa’s arrival.<br />
If lockdown should continue after <strong>December</strong> 2 most<br />
of those businesses will continue to trade online,<br />
offering their goods and services via click and collect<br />
or mailorder. Others will be seeing clients via online or<br />
socially distanced appointments. Visit their individual<br />
websites for more details.<br />
It’s so important to support local independent<br />
businesses right now, and every single item in our<br />
Christmas gift guide is from a business in our patch.<br />
When you buy from a small business you’re supporting<br />
your community and helping to keep people in<br />
jobs. Buy your gifts locally and you’re helping to put<br />
presents under the tree for the people employed by<br />
those businesses.<br />
As well as being delivered to homes in selected<br />
postcodes J’AIME is now available to pick up free of<br />
charge in major supermarkets around the Midlands.<br />
You can also read a digital version of the magazine<br />
free of charge at https://read.jaimemagazine.com<br />
Whether your Christmas will involve getting out to<br />
see the Lichfield Garrick panto or dressing up for a<br />
kitchen disco with your nearest and dearest, we hope<br />
we have something for you this month. There’s also<br />
a chance to win a cast iron griddle worth £75 so that<br />
you can make your very own Staffordshire oatcakes -<br />
ideal for Boxing Day.<br />
From everyone at J’AIME, have a wonderful<br />
Christmas. We’re looking forward to sharing 2021<br />
with you.<br />
