Mistletoe and Murder – Christmas in November!

December 1, 2016

It’s finally happened. Today is December 1st, and so we are OFFICIALLY celebrating advent. Tis the season for Mistletoe and Murder, and today is the day you can finally start it, if you were holding off until December!

To get you into the festive spirit (I don’t need encouraging – I have THREE advent calendars and have been wearing my Christmas jumpers for two months now), I’m sharing some of my favourite Christmassy pictures from all of the Mistletoe and Murder events I’ve held this November.

As you can see, I had an amazing time at each one – and if you came along, I hope you enjoyed yourselves too. If you missed meeting me, you still have a few more chances in 2016 – check out my remaining events here. And if I’m not going to be near you this year, please do not despair. I’m already planning 2017, and I know that I’ll be getting out and about a lot!
