Dear Readers
Penny Cottee Secretarial newsletter editor A huge "Happy Christmas" from all of us at DeskDemon Express! The festive spirit is really here now - all across the country offices are being adorned with delightful deccies, outfits are being spruced up for the company bash, diets are being put on hold, and for a few weeks we don't even mind that it's dark at 4 o'clock. (Just wait until January!) But the end of the year is also a great time to reflect on your achievements and goals, so among the fun features in this festive issue, we're also inviting you to stop for a moment and consider how your career is progressing. And when you've done that, we hope you enjoy the fun treats in store in this festive issue, specially designed to get you in the Yuletide mood!
