3. Christmas is literally everywhere now (but I'm not complaining)

4. Sometimes WhatsApp group chats get a bit much

5.You're never too old to want to visit Santa

6. Portcullis House is beautiful

7.  Democracy is for everyone

8. Sometimes it's ok to be a tourist in London

9. If you don't ask you don't get (asking got me the latest Cosmo for free!)
