For much of South Africa it’s Christmas Eve, or the day before Christmas (this will depend on what time you’re reading this today). It’s also Yule, Saturnalia, Sol Invictus, Hanukkah, Pancha Ganapati, Festivus, Hogswatch, or just the Solstice, depending on who you are and where you came from. We’ve probably missed a few out but it’s the Festive Season, with a capital F.

Whoever you are and whatever you’ve chosen to celebrate, Stuff Magazine wishes you and your loved ones all the best for this festive occasion. We hope that wherever you are and whoever you’re with, you’re doing what you want to be.

If you have any plans to be out and about on the roads, stay safe out there. There’s no risk on the roads worth getting into an accident for and we like you guys far too much to want to see you leaving us early. Let’s all stick around until 2016.

Oh, and one last thing:

If you haven’t done your gift shopping yet, you’re going to have a bad time. But that’s last-minute shopping trips for you.
