Often when we think about Christmas we imagine a beautiful winters day, the occasional snow flake landing gently on the frosty ground, maybe a brass band playing our favourite Christmas carols as we glide in and out of stores with bags full of goodies. Happy faces all around us and that wonderful inner peace as we sit and enjoy roasted chestnuts, dreaming of the mulled wine waiting for us at home...

Then we remove the rose tinted glasses and reality hits like a shopping bag to the face! Frazzled parents with overly excited children running around, busy people with busy lives desperately trying to find that ‘to die for gift’ in their 30 minute lunch break. Christmas is great, family is wonderful, but sometimes the stress it brings can come at quite a price (tag).

So today at TEMPLESPA, we say to you, put on those fluffy slippers that Aunt Sal insists on buying you every year, turn up the Christmas classics and pour yourself a glass, or two, and browse from the comfort of your own home.
