What not to do at Christmas, according to Judi Love

Feeling the pressure to be on your best behaviour this December? Your days of falling victim to a festive faux pas are over, as Judi Love reveals exactly what not to do when you’re doing the rounds this Christmas time.

“My lovely people of Debenhams, I’ve got a few do’s and don’ts that you mustn’t do around Christmas.”

TIP ONE

“If you are coming downstairs in full pyjamas, you still can have your face glam. Hair, done. Little bit of eyelashes. We’ve got to look fabulous, even in pyjamas.”

TIP TWO

“Secondly, please make sure you turn up to events creamed. Yes, you read what I said. That skin needs to be looking all smooth and glistening – not like the dry Christmas turkey that your auntie cooks but you still try to eat.”

TIP THREE

“Thirdly, please do not regift. And look, if you are going to regift, make sure it’s something nice. Something that can be used – not a candle that’s been in your house for 5 years.”

TIP FOUR

“And finally, people, please do not turn up to someone’s house empty-handed. I don’t care if it’s a piece of chocolate wrapped up, a bottle of fizz, whatever. You can’t turn up just you. I know people say, ‘just bring yourself!’. We’re lying. We want you to come with something.”
