Children still write Christmas lists – but what would you ask Santa for? More time with your family? To not mind when the glitter goes everywhere? This is a session of light-hearted creative writing, to focus on the Christmas you really want and deserve.  

We will also be trying out some simple techniques for staying calm and de-stressing.  

This course is for everyone who wants to come along. No creative writing experience is needed.
