At this time of year, there’s nothing better than a Christmas market to get you in the mood for the Big Day. Unfortunately, this season also brings with it unpredictable, or just plain bad, weather. If you’re heading to one of the hundreds of Christmas markets taking place across the country, you’ll need to wrap up warmly and take your trusty brolly.

But how do you work your way around a crowded market with an umbrella over your head without poking someone in the eye or showering them in rain when you step inside?

Christmas is awesome! It’s a super fun time that’s perfect for making memories and capping off the year with some festive fun amongst family, friends and even that special someone. It’s a time of year when we’re encouraged to think about others. Cynics may complain that the spirit of the season has become lost in a fugue of commercialism, self-interest and corporate greed but look around a busy high street at this time of year and you’ll see a whole lot more than empty, soulless commercialism going on.

It is less than two weeks until Christmas, which is scaring me slightly as I feel very unprepared in general. Even though I bought most of my Christmas presents weeks ago, I still feel there is so much to do before Christmas day. Especially when you’re the cook in the family and have 12 hungry people coming to our house to be fed. Last Christmas I had only lived in my house for just over a month, so we didn’t really own any decorations. We bought a real Christmas tree as it was always tradition when I lived at home to have a real one, but we didn’t have much else other than the tree. This year I had said to my boyfriend that I wanted us to buy lots of decorations so the house would be more festive and for us to put more effort in. I think there is such a big build up to Christmas day and everyone panics about everything that needs to be done and it seems that once the day comes it is kind of a relief.

Confidence is something that should be inherent in every woman. You should be able to ignore what flaws you perceive yourself to have, and focus on what works best about you and make that just another reason to love yourself. However, there are plenty of women who have trouble seeing beyond what they consider to be their weaknesses. For those women, making real changes and progress can reflect a greater difference than just the results of those changes. It can set a self-confidence chain reaction that simply bursts out of them.
