Nice job with the cards!
Attended the town's Christmas light switch on tonight - I've been here 20 years and it was my first one. Really don't know why I bothered. The 'mayor' said something incomprehensible, then something else incomprehensible, then we did the countdown thing and the lights came on, and finally we had all of two, maybe three, verses from carols, and then some random rock-type concert thing started (at which point I left). Still, the lights are on, so it's Christmas! |

Awesome cards.
I just watched the 1984 Two Ronnies Christmas Special. Brilliant. Still have three others to watch, and the entire Morecambe and Wise Xmas Specials too. Edit: "I cooked the goose... and I goosed the cook." Genius.

Christmas songs came on the radio today. Radio almost went out the window. I love chistmas songs, don't get me wrong, but it still feels way too early.
