Hey guys, Kitty Brucknell here! With Christmas quickly approaching, here are my top 10 tips to get you through the festive season.
- Always keep a bottle of Tequila handy. You never know when you need to drown your sorrows and forget it’s Xmas completely. And if that fails…try Absinthe. You’ll wake up from that hangover in the new year!

- Never EVER buy a real tree for the living room. Your carpet and vaccum cleaner will never forgive you – you will still be picking pine needles out come Easter!
- Get a big tray of comfort food and snacks for the whole family, sit down and watch a great Xmas movie. It’s amazing… the bonding power of the TV!
- For all office xmas parties… look fabulous… but not more so than your boss. Think of it like a sneaky job interview… while your colleages are getting hammered on the punch… you’re siding up to your boss and working on that next promotion!

- Xmas crackers. Buy cheap ones with nice wrapping… and then get expensive toys to fill them with! Works a treat and saves loads!
- Always make the Xmas cake about 3 months before. The alcohol ferments in the fruit and tastes absolutely incredible by the time December 25th comes around!
- Xmas carolling? Dress up warm and sing super loudly. Don’t worry if it’s bad… they’ll pay you to leave! Ker-ching!
- Want to keep brothers/dad/boyfriend quiet? My recommendation is Call of Duty 3 for Xbox… with a pair of headphones. They won’t bother you for weeks!!

- Do ALL of next xmas’ shopping in the January sales – and so forth. It will be the best thing you ever did… your wallet will love you!
- And for the biggest tip of all… DON’T TAKE IT ALL SO SERIOUSLY! There’s always next year!
Have a good Christmas guys! KITTY OUT! xxx
