I really like this one. LL

Aw, that's sweet, LL - Freeview do some clever ads, it's not always the most glitzy ones that work.

**lily** Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:38 pm

Nice one, LL. I like Foreigner too.

That one is almost overdosing on cuteness, LL! rofl

The German one Greenink posted is clever - wasn't inspired by Kraftwerk, was it?

Could be, but I was never into electronic music or really any 'modern' music. LL

Are we going to have Santa Claus on his journey again this year? I do so love that.

Thanks, LL.

Some Anglican Bishop told a bunch of kids last week that Father Christmas doesn't exist. What is the matter with these people? Santa Clause, Saint Nicholas, was a saint, for Christ's sake. What more do they want? Have they no magic in their souls?
I still have, and I am well past my sell by date.

Pass. Not religious but I don't like adults debunking childrens' beliefs; childhood is very short and disillusion sets in soon enough. LL

So, he's quite happy to believe in his own particular sky pixie and all the tales of impossible, miraculous happenings that go with it, but tells children NOT to believe in someone that does the almost-possible? After all, humans can fly around the world several times in the course of 24 hours..... santa

I had to stop today, for three of the tiniest Deers on the road. They stopped to look at me, and then carried on across a field and into a wood. It quite made my day. And they didn't half go. Such joy around here sometimes.

**bb1** Sat Dec 06, 2014 1:24 pm

It's lovely coming across deer, you never expect them to be so near to you...

OMG, can you imagine the horror of getting this in your Yuletide mail?

Thank you, just having lunch, I think I need to go and lie down in a dark room. How vomitable. LL vomit

Cameron's isn't terribly Christmassy, but at least it won't scare the children.

The £34.99 figure from Disney’s Frozen became this Christmas’s most sought-after present, selling out in the shops within days. Pictured Meredith McMillan-Ward with one of the first new dolls to be delivered

Now in a move dubbed Operation Elsa, manufacturer Jakks Pacific has sent a special delivery from its factories in China to meet the huge demand.
The ship, the MOL Quartz, docked in Southampton last week, and delivery drivers are now working around the clock to unload 12 containers of Disney merchandise and rush them to high street stores such as The Entertainer

Just seen the photos of those Christmas trees. Well.....don't they look cold and unfriendly. Shocked

**bb1** Sun Dec 14, 2014 2:45 pm

They're cheerless and horrid, aren't they? If you can't be OTT at Christmas, well, when can you be? santa

It's definitely a time to sparkle and be of good cheer. Unless you are people like Clegg etc.....

He won't even have a Twig in his house. Much too Pagan. Actually, I quite like some of The Twig Trees. It depends on what you can afford.

My Twigs have come free. And now I have a few odd beautiful Camillias blooming.
