As a January baby who always loves this month couldn't agree more (IMO I think March is really rubbish, the weather is that horrible mix of everything, doesn't really feel like spring doesn't really feel like winter, just a bit meh)

Hard sell on 2nd January but perhaps my ultimate controversial take is that this is the most underrated month of the year.

From protests to tourist tax, I took a look back at the year in Spain and whether the UK has ditched it's favourite holiday destination @manchestereveningnews.co.uk
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news...
Has the UK fallen out of love with its number one holiday spot?

We taste-tested the Christmas dinner staple from six major supermarkets
