As much as I love London, I am a self-proclaimed Manc-lover. What Manchester lacks in sophistication, it oozes in unapologetic northern charm. Plus you can’t really beat the northern humour (maybe I’m biased). So here’s a list of what makes Manchester great:

Not gonna lie, all this build up is getting a bit stressful now. From present shopping on a threadbare shoestring to the realisation you left it way too late to get your train ticket and could be going on a European mini break for the cost of your trip home, it’s been real, too real.
The end is in sight. With any luck you are just a couple of tear inducing last minute shopping trips and a few ‘well I really deserve this’ drinks away from the big day. Basically, your chance to CHILL is coming so hold on tight. Unless you agreed to host this year, then we’re praying for you, you brave unfortunate babes.
Of course the stress levels won’t just casually drop come December 25th, there will be hurt feelings, grateful feelings, loved up feelings, seriously pissed off and probably drunk feelings but to summarise…

Unless handled with caution, the aforementioned feels could result in a nausea inducing roller coaster of a day, so here’s how to boss it boohoo style…

You don’t like The Cat in the Hat?!

Nobody panic, but it’s Christmas in 11 days.. YES, the big day is less than two weeks away so if you haven’t got in the Christmas spirit, you need to jump on it. And what better way to get the festive feeling than having a night in with hot chocolate, marshmallows and a Home Alone marathon.
Yet, as much as we love a good old Christmas movie, you can’t deny they’ve given us just a few false expectations. From magical weather to making us think we’d find our very own Graham from The Holiday, here are some of the most unrealistic goals set by our fave festive films…
