Letter from the editor
Welcome to our Christmas edition of the Vine!
We hope you’re as excited for Christmas as we are, and are looking forward to some potential snow! Perhaps you’re planning a holiday to somewhere warmer (think of us in cold England if you do!), or visiting a Christmas market or fair to celebrate the break? However you enjoy Christmas and the winter holiday, the days will get shorter and shorter, and colder and colder. So snuggle up with a hot drink, a blanket and one of our incredible articles to keep warm and relax!
We have some truly wonderful articles for you, including great poetry, more fabulous Sherlock Holmes book reviews and loads of fantastically festive articles. There are discussions around a sustainable Christmas and litter picking, queries into the belief of Santa Claus and an enlightening article the history Christmas through the ages. Also included are debates over the controversial true meaning of Christmas - presents or family? - and an article about viral trends such as K-Pop. We also have a gingerbread biscuit recipe for you to make and share with your family to keep you both entertained and full of delicious food. Some students were even particularly critical of the new Christmas John Lewis advert - what were your thoughts?
We hope you all enjoy the articles and your Christmas holiday, however you may celebrate it. We will see you after the winter break - maybe as a new writer or photographer for The Vine?
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a snuggly winter holiday!
Thank you to everyone who has contributed for this issue and to our readers: enjoy!
