This is a book about Christmas. But it's also a book about belonging, connection, self-care, joy and ordinary magic.

CALM CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR offers inspiration for a new kind of holiday season - one where you radiate calm and cultivate delight. Spanning late November to early January, CALM CHRISTMAS embraces the festive build-up, the celebrations and the turn of the year in a holistic, nurturing way. Beth Kempton will whisk you away from the frenetic energy of the high street and invite you to come sit awhile by the fire, pausing to explore what a more mindful festive season could mean for you.

Full of personal stories, tips and advice for slowing down, staying calm and connecting with others, it offers a welcome retreat from the pressure to create 'the perfect Christmas'.

At its heart CALM CHRISTMAS is about a book about wellbeing in winter, which will encourage you to use this time of natural hibernation to germinate new dreams and nurture a beautiful life in the year ahead. Instead of entering January exhausted, further in debt, and already regretting broken resolutions, you will begin the New Year with precious memories, feeling rested, rejuvenated and inspired.

This atmospheric book will lead you through the darkness of winter, back to the enchantment of an authentic and meaningful Christmas and New Year.

This book changed my life. This has been one of the best Christmasses I have ever had and I 100% put that down to Beth Kempton. Decembers were often rushed, stressed and I couldn't fully enjoy them. Not this year. I have never had such a calm Christmas. -- Francesca Amber * host of The Law of Attraction Changed My Life Podcast and Book Club *
