How excited am I that Christmas is almost here! I do go a little crazy with the decs at home, but I do enjoy making the house look very festive. I love my upside down Christmas Tree, as it fits nicely in a corner. My friends often think that I’ve not read the instructions properly, but it really is an upside down tree! The Fireplace mantle is up the right way and full of festive foliage...of course twinkling with micro lights. Then, reaching the top of my stairs is no easy feat, as the banister is adorned in a very bushy, dressed garland smothered, again, in micro twinkling lights. Not leaving out the bathroom, this year I have decked it out with Christmas nautical items, which I bought in the States. To finish off Santa’s Grotto...I have a large prickly bush outside covered in red berry lights, and on the porch roof, more twinkling lights and a garland boasting homemade dried orange slices and cones from local woods sprayed with metallic covering......I’m done! Meanwhile, it was lovely seeing so many familiar faces at this year’s Copra Ball. Well done to Debbie Trumper and Camilla Pascucci who, once again, organised another fun, pre-Christmas party where over £40k was raised for our industry charity, Look Good Feel Better. If you attended the Ball then turn to page 16...you may be featured! Also, in this issue, we have featured a selection of gold offerings, as well as ideas on choosing the right aroma for the home. Furthermore, not forgetting our regular columns from Persolaise (page 10) and Kathryn Danzey (page 12) A big thank you to esprit’s regular freelance Contributors, who have constantly supplied readers with informative features throughout the year, and especially the esprit team (Terry, Maria and Deborah) for their dedication, hard work and continued support. I couldn’t produce esprit without you. Finally, esprit is celebrating its 30th year in 2018 and we will be offering many special discounted promotions throughout the year and do hope many of you will help us celebrate this great milestone.

Have a fun Christmas Day of eating, drinking, being merry, and having the only worry of what to wear to the next festive party! Happy Christmas and here’s to a Prosperous 2018 for everyone. Lorraine Wilson-Morris Editor
