14 days to Boxing Day.

I’ve been asked why I am counting down to Boxing Day . Just to be a little different really, and 26 is conveniently the number of letters in the alphabet. So I can have two running themes. A countdown and a letter to hang a ponder on.

In trying to extract maximum enjoyment out of short days I  have been greatly helped by the gradual build up of festive lighting and by making sure I get some effective reading time. This gem of writing from Virginia Woolf came my way yesterday.

I think even great prose benefits from some Festive lighting.

And so to 26 Days to Boxing Day.

M has to be for Music. Traditional, Random, Contemporary, Pogues.
