R&G|MAGAZINE EDITION #5 - DECEMBER 2014 | Page 4

EDITOR’S NOTE Bring on the New Year - but first: Let’s Celebrate Christmas - our first Christmas as R&G|MAGAZINE! December truly is a magical month; a time for appreciation, joy and laughter. We can reflect on all the things we’ve done throughout 2014 and, regardless of any failures, we’re still granted a second chance in the form of a new year. If that’s not something to be festive about, then what is? Let’s not forget the pinnacle of Christmas - our family and friends and the merry time we get to spend with them! December brings a contagious spirit of bonding and love, as well as feelings of contentment and happiness. As R&G|MAGAZINE we are excitedly forging a family of our own, growing as we welcome new writers and a rising reader base! For us this is the best Christmas present we could ever ask for! Admittedly, we still have a long way to go, but the journey looks fruitful thus far and we are extremely thankful and positive! We have our New-Year resolutions jotted down and our party hats ready to usher in 2015! If you’re stuck on what to wear on New Year’s Eve then scroll down to page 10 for some cheeky suggestions on how to shine on the last day of 2014. To compliment your party oufit scroll to page 44 for a great festitve playlist. For the sweet tooth enthusiasts we have a four page spread on Christmas cake recipes on page 60.
