Fröhliches Weihnachten und Gutes Neues Jahr für alle meine lieben Freunde auf hier!!

[bb1]

That looks beautiful, LL.

How do you fancy this for Christmas dinner?



I saw it in Expresso - they had a selection of inexpensive Christmas meals. Now, most looked pretty good - fish, poultry, etc.

Then there was that ^^^^^^. Personally, I would pick bread and water over anything decorated with a purple tentacle....

That's the Town Hall in Vienna, Bonny, with the Christmas Market in full swing - over 100 covered stalls. As for the pic of that meal, I can't abide tentacled things, they remind me of spiders, which also make me feel sick. So I shall not explore that any further!!!! LL

[bb1]

I like most seafood, LL, including calamari - but I absolutely draw the line at tentacles. Particularly purple ones

I also like seafood, prawns being one of my favorites. Don't like calamari, but do like cockles etc. I can't even watch film scenes with octopussies - ugh!!!!!! Me tum is squirming at the very subject!!!! LL

CHRISTMAS FAIRY

I am a little fairy
On tap o' the Christmas Tree
It's no' a job I fancy
Well how would you like tae be me?

A'm tarted up wi' tinsel
It's enough to mak ye boak
An a couple o' jaggy branches
Rammed up the back o' your froack.

An' wi'a' these lights a'roon me
I canna get my sleep
An' there's the yearly visit
Fae Santa - Big fat creep!

On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here
While you're a a'wirin' in
An' naebody says "Hey you up there,-
Could you go a slug o' gin?

It's nae joke bein' a fairy
The job's beyond belief
Ye go 'roon and 'roon the bairnies beds
An' lift their rotten teeth.

But o' a' the joabs a fairy gets
An' I've mentioned only some,
The very worst is up a tree
Wi' pine needles up yir bum.

When a' the fairies meet again
By the light of' the silvery moon,
Ye can tell the Christmas fairies -
They're the wans that canna sit doon.

The Christmas tree's a bonny sight
As the firelight softly flickers
But think o' me,- A'm stuck up here
Wi' needles in my knickers !

So soon as Christmas time's right by
An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer
I'll get awa back tae Fairyland
An' Ah'll see yous a' next year.

It's a wonderful site for children, Pedro, they can follow Santa right round the globe

[Pedro Silva]

To the owner of that site: well done.
