For me, this has to be the most beautiful time of the year. Waking up to find that the nature outside of my bedroom window has been delicately sugar coated in sparkling frost; Fixing the prettiest angel onto the top of the tree and stepping back to admire your perfectly decorated, dazzling tree; The food and drinks that with just a sniff of their goodness, bring back every homely Christmas memory.  These are the little things that make an enormous impact on one’s happiness this time of year. The things that make you smile a festive smile.

We have some wonderful Christmas related articles this term and some interesting non-Christmas articles too. Whether you celebrate the Christmas holiday or not, as always, we have something for everyone. Never forgetting the extraordinary cartoons and illustrations of festive fun. Be sure to take a look.

As usual, the team and I have worked so hard on this special Christmas edition of Hear From Hele’s. We can’t wait to share all the fantastic work produced this term. A special thank you to the members of SLT and reprographics who have helped me to develop this newspaper even further this term. We appreciate the work you do for us very much.

This holiday, put your feet up, have a hot chocolate and get stuck into the sixth edition of Hear From Hele’s.

 A merry Christmas and a happy new year from the Hear From Hele’s team!

Alice Shelley, Editor in Chief of Hear from Heles.
