It's that time of year again. It's been a long 12 months, huh? If it's been a difficult year for you as it has been for me, now that we can get to spend time with our families and friends without the clouds hanging over everything, coming together to share company and have a good time, we can enjoy life with the knowledge that whatever happened this year is done with, and new things are on the horizon. Tomorrow, I'll be hanging with my guests and unapologetically eating roast ham, snacks and diabetes-tastic desserts with reckless abandon to celebrate along with my family who have been through a lot. The spirit of Christmas is joy, so let's be joyous and grateful for making it through 2023.

So, whoever you are, whatever kind of year you've had; you've had ups, you've had downs, new things might have made you excited, other things might have stayed the same. Nobody knows what comes next, but you're still here. You've handled the trials life threw at you this year, if you keep going then nothing can prevent you from making the most of the New Year and getting to a better place if there's things that could improve.

To all my watchers and everyone else, I wish you all the best. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, spend it with those you care about, or if you can't or you'll be on your own on the day, spend it with yourself and be proud of making it here. <3
