Seasonal sale / display board. 15 November 2009! I was lucky to avoid any earlier views to be honest (Tobermory was the spelling suggestion for 'to be honest!').

I gave up and went out on the bike instead. I draw the line at mid december before that becomes acceptable!!
I got up on the 7th Nov to find Bex watching Polar Express... she watched the Muppets Christmas Carol the week before!

My contribution to the festive season: the best Christmas Carol EVER!

29 November 2009. First ever watch of 'The Miracle on 34th Street'.

Victorian Christmas. Some nice ideas here, the punch sounds amazing.

19th November - first time a kid said to me ''this time next month, I'll be on holiday'' Interestingly enough they stop doing that one generally around the 8th December and change 'month' to 'fortnight'.

25th November - first time a kid said to me ''this time next month, it'll be Xmas day''

30th November - first time a kid said to me ''what are you getting your wife for Xmas?''

Either that is genuinely endearing or cheeky. . . . hum. :lol:

I got Brian (my jovial though slightly rude boss) in the secret santa. I took great delight in getting him plastercine sex dolls with their own book of the karma sutra. :lol:

PS Brian got another colleague Alison a blow up bondage chair one year, so Brian is fair game. :-D
