These are a few of our favourite things… for this week at least. __________________________________ Party on, Garth.  We're all feeling ever so slightly delicate this Friday after the Christmas party to end all Christmas parties, along with our JOE.ie bros and the newbies to our office, Team SportsJOE.ie and Team HerFamily.ie. Let's just say...   Rebecca's Hat Because Christmas. ​Come Fly With Me Friends don't come much better than this... This week Grace awoke to a text from a friend in Hong Kong. The message was a screenshot of return flights to Thailand, an incredible surprise early Christmas present. If that wasn't enough, Grace received another text to say that a dear former colleague had purchased her tickets to Liverpool in February. We need friends like this...

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend It wouldn't really be in our Michelle's nature to gush, but she returned to Her.ie Towers this week after an amazing holiday all loved up and... engaged! Yes, everyone has tried on the ring. Yes, we're already buying hats. Santa Time Mary's favourite thing this week was seeing her little ten-month old niece go to Santa for the first time and being not impressed whatsoever by the whole situation. In fact, we think that Mary and her sister got more fun out of the snaps than the baby! Talk about all the trimmings... Liz got a special delivery this week that definitely got her in the festive spirit. She was pretty pleased to open a package from Centra with some yummy Christmas treats but most importantly, her own personalised apron. She doesn’t even mind that she’s going to put on a gazillion pounds during the holidays, mainly thanks to her new status as Mrs. Claus. She might be planning on replacing her Christmas jumper with this nifty number… Falling for Jamie Cathy started watching The Fall purely for the beautiful Jamie Dornan but it wasn't long before she was drawn in by the complex plot. Not only is Jamie exceptional at portraying serial killer Paul Spector, Gillian Anderson is superb in her role as Superintendent Stella Gibson. The second series came to an end on Wednesday and while we won't say much lest we spoil it, it is definitely worth catching up with the finale. Keep on Rocking We've been hearing a lot of buzz about TV3's new soap Red Rock so Marie popped along to the Lighthouse Cinema on Wednesday for a sneak preview of the first two episodes of  drama. With a strong cast including Cathy Belton and Love/Hate's Denise McCormack, the show charts the rivalry between two families in a seaside town and we're already looking forward to episode three! You can catch the first episode of Red Rock on TV3 on January 7th. Not So Secret Santas This week in the office we did Secret Santa and Rebecca reckons she got the best present of the lot. Michelle bought her a gorgeous Alex and Ani bracelet with an elephant on it. (In case you didn't know, she loves elephants.) You could say she'll never forget THIS present. Joseph Stole the Show... This week Grace made a surprise visit home for a very special 5-year-old that she likes to call the miniature hero. Grace's nephew Cillian played the role of Joseph in his nativity play and she may be a little bias but word has it he stole the show. Just look at that face...
