Christmas starts at different times for different people. For some it might be when you see Christmas decorations on sale in the shops... for others it might be when they put up their Christmas tree... or when they (or their kids) write a letter to Santa...

For me, for the last several years, Christmas has truly kicked off when Christmas FM starts broadcasting. It's a radio channel that only airs in the run-up to Christmas, and plays only Christmas songs. It's an Irish channel, but you can listen to it live on the internet anywhere in the world. Go check it out, and let Christmas begin!!! :-)

Speaking of the yuletide... the Christmas issue of my monthly newsletter went live today. It contains all the latest Darren Shan news and updates, details of a couple of upcoming sales, info about a Christmas story that will be airing in the run-up to Christmas, and a whole lot more. You can check it out by clicking on the following link -- just make sure you have Christmas FM playing the background while you read it!!! :-) https://www.darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly/
