Join in our special cook along episode as the team make Christmas cakes, large and small and a gluten-free pudding. In between stirring and mixing, The Simple Things’ Editor Lisa Sykes, Wellbeing Editor Becs Frank and regular contributor Jo Tinsley, will talk festive tipples, homemade gifts and advent calendars. As the cakes cook they’ll be reading seasonal microfiction. SPOILER ALERT!One of our stories in the second half of this podcast involves Santa Claus and if you have little listeners in earshot, it might not be something you want them around to hear if you want to keep the magic of Christmas going that little bit longer!  To do:Listen to our festive playlists – search ‘Christmas Playlist’ on our blog for the Spotify linksTo buy:Gift subscriptions to The Simple ThingsManifesto tea towelChristmas manifesto cardsSubscribe to The Simple Things  On the blog: Swedish glogg Simple homemade hanging decorationsStollen with dark rum and lemon marzipanBath saltsGalette Des RoisMulled white wine  From The Simple Things:Craft-a peel gathering – November 2023, Issue 137 – Stollen recipe, How to Dry Orange Slices and Painted Candles Mulling Spices for Wine gift idea – November 2022, Issue 125 Christmas microfiction winners –  December 2023, Issue 138 Back issues are available to buy.
