Still Panicking: This week we look back at the best Christmas How Tos, to help guide you through the festive season.

Having a different Christmas this year? Stevie and Tessa look at how to celebrate – or not celebrate – the festive season when it’s not going to be your usual knees-up. Spoiler alert: it’s all about perspective and having the confidence to do what you want. And other things too. Look just have a listen.

Oh. Yes. Lovely. One of these. Gosh. Yes. Thank you. Stevie and Tessa navigate the minefield of giving and receiving presents, discuss how to react to a terrible gift, what to give when you don't know your Secret Santa at all, and Tessa has an on-air epiphany about the meaning of Christmas.

Still Panicking: This week we look back at some of Stevie and Tessa's top tips for getting through the winter months.

Can you ever have a dry bath? What is a “bath of the mind”? Why is it that Stevie hates them so much and can she overcome it? Tessa (bath aficionado and creator of the Half Bath) talks Stevie through bath etiquette and, as ever, discovers her aversion isn’t about the bath. It’s about her soul. Warning this gets quite deep (like a bath).

Stevie has had three colds in a month. Tessa has had some colds in her life. But how can you actually avoid a cold? Can you boost your immune system with those cute tasting gummies? Should you feed a cold, starve a fever? All these questions answered, and more, on this weeks episode.

Author of the Sunday Times bestseller, and frankly brilliant book, 'Really Good Actually', Monica Heisey joins Stevie and Tessa to talk them through her passion for hosting a really good dinner party. Longtime listeners will know we've tackled this one before, but the tips were mostly about lemons. Monica brings some absolutely banging advice. Also she's so nice. And the book is fantastic, buy it at once.

Feeling down when the nights get darker? Tessa realised she has SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder - a few years ago and, while Stevie doesn’t, they’ve both done a lot of intense googling, so take a look at whether light boxes work, going outside is really the key and how Tessa can stop crying all the time when it’s dark.

Now is the Winter of our discontent. Perhaps ‘Winter is your season’ and you love the cold, but if not and you’re miserable the moment it gets dark at 4pm, this one is for you. Stevie (recently embraced Winter) and Tessa (whisp-like child of Summer) attempt to shelter and guide you through the metaphorical snow storm.
