The Santa on the left is also ancient. From Germany and when he 'worked' he played the most awful version of Ve Vish you a Merry Chvistmas' but he stopped working a while back.

The candles were made for me by a neighbour many years ago hand carved from wood.

*the piccie on the top right is me and my son Danny dancing to Otis Redding just before I left for Cyprus!

I love the gold Santa,with the wee dangly legs

He's one of our newer ones. I have a cream velour santa too. Gave some of them to Lucia this year as she will be here for Xmas and I won't. (But none of my OLD ones!)

And here's a snapshot of Xmas when you have Chemists and Biologists in your family....

Martin's last year. I had to hunt high and low for an OLD fairy for his tree because I forgot to bring 'our one' lol!

Lovely tree Should put a little Santa hat on the bones!!

Old bones now sits cross legged on Jen's bookcase! Skeletons and huge periodic wall tables are not unusual pressies in our house!

I thought he was a guest waiting for food........

Seriously lovely pictures Tang.........and I am sure your Christmas will be brilliant.

I thought maybe it was an "ex" but didn't like to say

So due to having to leave work early because I didn't feel well I haven't managed to put up my new lights so I thought I would try to make up for it by showing you the new collar lights for my dogs

The red one is Bandit's, the blue one is Malcolm's, the green one is Scooby's and the multi-coloured one is Layla's.









Just to prove Layla's changes colour

Get away JEN,they are seriously cool!!
Will forgive you,even though I was so looking forward to it Hope you're feeling better(( hugs))

They are great aren't they! It means I can tell them apart from each another I can also set them to flash. I'm feeling a bit better now thank you.
