It’s that time of year again. It's Christmas! The irresistible smell of gingerbread cookies, decorating the Christmas tree, shopping for presents, gift wrapping and all things Christmassy. The streets in London are brightly lit with Christmas lights, German style outdoor markets have sprung up around the city, and Scandi themed pop-up restaurants are all the rage. Freezing days that chill you to the bone par well with sitting by the fireplace, sipping an spiced mulled wine or hot chocolate. I love wrapping up in my winter clothes and after 3 years of living in London, I feel like I have acclimatised to the cold weather. Normally at this time of the year, I would be complaining about the cold (a lot) and how much I hate the cold. But not this year. I’m embracing the cold. Although give me a choice and I would still choose a hot climate over cold climate any day.
