My 12 days o’ Christmas gifts

So, li’l miss pinkies, I’m back from New Yooik - look out for my guide to NY later in the week - and I’ve arrived home to the sound of carols playing in the local co-op and the Coca Cola ‘holidays are coming, holidays are coming‘ ad on the TV - which can mean only one thing…it’s only blimmin’ Christmas!

Now, I know Christmas isn’t ALL about presents, but it is a teeny-weeny li’l bit, so if you’re wondering what will make me smile this festive season, here’s my lust-after 12 gifts o’ Christmas…

On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love sent to me…an Ugly Betty 3rd season DVD

It’s a year of change for Betty and her friends at MODE. With the future of the magazine up in the air, a new roommate and the ever-changing carousel of office relationships spinning faster than ever, Betty’s life is full of surprises. On top of it all, Betty’s move to the Big City has her wondering whether she truly belongs in her new fast-paced world.

I HEART BETTY.
