A Seasonal Symphony
“The mere chink of cups and saucers,” writes George Gissing, “tunes the mind to happy repose.” A crackling fire, bubbling pots on the stove, the gentle strains of recorded Christmas music: these welcoming sounds work in harmony to set the tone for a convivial gathering. When guests have settled in and laughter fills the halls, congregate around a piano to sing beloved carols.



Absolutely perfect ! This special Holiday Bliss issue as well as the November/December 2017 issue of Victoria was simply outstanding and my favourites for the entire year !
Entertaining during the Christmas holiday is often difficult and stressful, but looking at these pages makes one know that all can be done and that Victoria is there to give expert advice as well as amazing photographs which instill every confidence in producing an awesome event on our own!
Thank you Victoria Editors and Staff who made this Christmas season a luxury of inspiration to all of us !
God bless !
