Seasonal miscellany

[Tûrwethiel]

There's some lovely Christmas music being posted over in the classical forum, but I thought we could use somewhere to share other festive things.

This one brings back memories of being dressed in one of Mum's old petticoats, wearing wings made from wire coat hangers and trying to remember when I was supposed to say "fear not ..."

That was lovely Vicki, this is a good idea.

Here is A Christmas Carol.

Oh I remember when I was in many christmas plays like that. I was three
years old when kids that year did it. It wasn't until 68 that I was in one.
One year we did carols and I got to play them.

I've not played with Carol for ages, she's always doing something else!

Thanks Margaret, I haven't seen that one since I was quite little.

Here's a dog who appears to be a little bit mad about the whole Christmas thing - http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=0sUL0KCIc48

I loved the dog Vicki, he was having such fun.

Here was a landmark, first broadcast when I was um 6.

Gosh, Her Maj was so young and so gorgeous. Listening to her speak about the challenges of modern society ... not much has changed at all. I was, however, hanging out for "my husband and I"!

Here is something quite trashy. Please don't click if you are offended by comedy about religion. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=zKDC2iBQTYg

BTW ... I wasn't around until four Christmases later!

Oh Vicki, you youngster.

Wow, Stephen (and welcome back!). Thanks for the Raymond Briggs clips (love them) and those fantastic photos.

Come on down to the southern hemisphere. It's a bad hair quarter (at least!) and, for us girlies, make up simply melts off.


Here's something, er, trashy but tasty - http://quiz.marthastewart.com/quiz/97 .

I'm Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies!

Cheers

Vicki

 

[greatcyber]

Thanks, Vicki. Took the quiz and I'm a candy-striped cookie sticks guy, apparently.

Oh Stephen. Hysterically funny and revolting in the same package. Tears of laughter in my eyes. Brilliant!!!

I don't feel so bad about posting this link now - http://rathergood.com/christmas

Cheers (it must be time for a beverage or two by now!)

Vicki

 

[marval]

Thank Stephen, that was great.

Good one Vicki.


Margaret

 

[greatcyber]

Oh, Thanks for your vid, Vicki. It cracked me up.

 

[Tûrwethiel]

Thanks Stephen. I've been singing "a hammer for you, a sickle for me" under my breath for days!

Sorry, but this link defaults to IE. I couldn't get it posted any other way as it was an email attachment sent to me.

Happy Holidays

^^ :lol:

I took the cookie quiz; seems I'm Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies as well. I actually prefer sugar cookies though. :grin:

This thread is fun; really gets one into the spirit. Thanks everyone.
