Does the gift giving season fill you with joy or a crushing feeling of imminent defeat? Of wondrous cooking surprises or hours slaving over an open stove? Never mind, this year is going to be exactly like last year in every detail in a Groundhog Day type way, especially if you have anyone in your family who looks remotely like Bill Murray.

Gifts involving alcoholic contents above 40cc are well to outstandingly well starred as are cuddly fluffy toys. (Please drink and cuddle responsibly.)

Next month could be a month to fulfil that secret dream you once had. Don't blow it this time, this time it really might be your last chance, but start your machinations now as it's never too soon to start to prepare.
