Christmas is just around the corner, and we are feeling oh-so-festive in this corner of the world. This is our first Christmas in our new house, and baby Maia’s first ever Christmas. And Christmas Day is Sienna’s birthday, so there is much to look forward to.
2015 has been an amazing year, a challenging year, and a happy year, but also a tough year for many people we know. This time of year brings many things into focus, and we hope that whatever kind of a year you have had, you have a very happy festive holiday.
Here’s to celebration and happy moments
Beth and the Do What You Love team

(5) Create a book of family recipes
(6) Give them a voucher for the Do What You Love course to help them make a major change in their life* (course starts Jan 18, 2016)
(7) Design a scavenger hunt with a map and clues hidden across your town or city, in places that remind you of special times
(8) If you are feeling very generous, and want a gift for someone who loves adventure, this Exploring Mindset trip down the Mississippi would be an amazing present!
(9) Book a ticket to a free event (museum, public lecture, street market etc) and take them along

And if you want some tips on present wrapping, no-one does it like the Japanese!
