You know it's almost Christmas when

• Out of charity you agree to go for Sugar Daddy speed dating as a wing woman
• The lights on Oxford Street make you tear up (OK, maybe I had too much champers)
• It's so cold that wearing your glasses is the only way to prevent your eyes from involuntarily weeping when you dash to the train in the morning
• Love Actually makes you tear up (hmm, again, wine this time, maybe there is a theme here)
• You justify purchases for yourself in relation to the amount of money you have spent on others
• You get so excited about the special holiday lattes that you miss your morning train
• Planning a night on the town for 5 weeks away doesn't seem unreasonable
• People start practising random acts of kindness**
• You detox once a week rather then once a month in anticipation of the gluttony to come

Happy Christmas Season!

**OK, maybe not in London, but in a lot of other cities
