' Old Long Sign' has a seasonal sense to it and a gentle sparkle that augurs good cheer.
For the Rofl :
2 Christmas crackers
Tin foil star
12 AAA batteries
Another bag of pine needles
2011 Calendar
pair of gloves (one green one purple)
I may be somewhat preoccupied this evening as have family staying in the coach house and a VIP in the west wing, so do no stand on ceremony and help yourselves to all treats.

The Pink Polar Bear never makes his AB bed;
He sleeps on a cake of B00 instead.
He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet
Except the Jayne and snow and maggiebee.
He drifts about on a white pixi floe
While seadogg winds howl and blizzards blow
And the temperature drops to forty below.
The Pink Polar Bear never makes his bed;
The shortplanks blanket he pulls up over his head
Is lined with soft and feathery alba snow.
If ever he rose and fliptheswitch the light,
He would find a world of waterboat white,
And NoMmie icebergs floating through the night.

There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing...
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.
