Ding Dong Merrily on High! Welcome to day 23 of 'An Optimistic Advent Calendar'. From now until the 24th, I'll be bringing you a daily dose of Christmas cheer by sharing all sorts of festive makes and bakes, things to see and do and of course, lots of pretty pictures - all served up with an extra handful of seasonal sparkle. So pop back tomorrow for a final look.
Less than 48 hours until the big day and you can smell the panic in the air. So now's an excellent time to take a moment, relax and remember, there's life on the other side - a whole new year in fact. And The Optimist proposes we all resolve to make 2014 lovely. Instead of giving something up, try something new, make someone's day and find something that makes you smile. If you want some suggestions, The Optimist's already got the whole of January covered. So there's no excuse really.
