Christmas is not the time to be Jolly but it is the time to watch Dr Who!

Dr Who's Tardis has been temporarily suspended from travel, due to high winds, rain, & wet leaves being sucked into all time portals, in England Wales & Scotland.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

I'm making a Christmas Pud using Brandy or maybe Whisky...haven't decided yet, still tasting the liquor to see what might work best...so the former statement might be 'slightly' exaggerated ...'hic!' ;) :D

Jack :)

I think the fact that it is an older holiday than Christianity actually makes it more worthy of being honoured. After all, it is something that many humans have been doing for thousands of years.

We have all these exciting traditions from Saturnalia (e.g. christmas tree, gift giving) and other festivals bundled up in a nice package.

And it is really up to each of us how commercial we are willing to make it.

Could I interest you in a fabulous festive new T-shirt, mug or mousemat with that printed on it? It makes the ideal Christmas gift for all the family. :D

And cynicism is so great, that the advertisements often begin two months in advance. And we reach highs in horror when we see that people resell their gifts after the festivities

:eek: :)
