We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I've been and had a soak in the bath.  I have my new jarmies on and I'm eagerly awaiting Santa's arrival.  Each year I like to track him on http://www.noradsanta.org/en/ (Hi Florence - Italy, Santa is on his way!!) just to make sure the big man is still on track!

I love Christmas, but what if the holiday season is not a happy and joyful time for you.  Who can you turn to if it all becomes too much?  Kellie from Big Fashionista complied this list of useful contacts to make sure that you know that you are not alone, whatever the time of year.
