A little foggy as usual now in the Advent calendar through the round window (I am regressing) what do we see a very Jolly Snowman with a hat and a stripy scarf and of course tne obligatory carrot for his nose and coal for eyes. He looks hopefully at the house but he knows he would melt if he came in....................

Joke for today

Where does Santa learn how to slide down chimneys???????

It is an oldie but a goodie and you are all jumping up and down in your chairs with the answer.

VG you wont find it on google so here it is.........

He learn at the Chimnasium ! They tell me the old ones are the best, I am still testing that one.

Have a good day guys Keep warm xgins

We are at last on the final room but only have 10 days left to do it befroe my daughter comes home from uni and im so stressed! I have all the xmas shopping to do yet and im the middle of a bad flare up so i jusr cant get into the spirit at all! You seem full of the xmas spirit so what do you recommend to help me get there please? Much love....Charlii x
