In the Sharp Relation’s office, you would think that July would bring talk of beach days, ice cream, and flip flops but it means only one thing…Christmas! As the media world gears up once again for the festive period, we are already sending out Christmas dessert recipes, showcasing beautiful hamper gifts and the top drinks to toast at the most important meal of the year.
