"felicem nativitatem et annum novum faustum felicem tibi exopto!" ("I wish you a happy Christmas and a happy prosperous new year!")

And this is despite having read the book...
I have been sitting on this email for a while, and I really hope I have hit the sweet spot between Black Friday and the Christmas rush to make sure you open it! First of all, my apologies if I have been a bit slow getting back to emails recently. Between mock exams, Oxbridge interview support, career advice and (breath!) end-of-term preparations, this is a hectic time of the year. But it is also time to get ready for 2025, so here is some important information: Latin and Greek events:...
