This is a book about Christmas. But its also a book about belonging, connection, self-care, joy and ordinary magic, by the host of the UKs number one favourite Christmas podcast.Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year offers inspiration for a new kind of holiday season - one where you radiate calm and cultivate delight. Spanning late November to early January, Calm Christmas embraces the festive build-up, the celebrations and the turn of the year in a holistic, nurturing way.
