Happy Week Before Christmas!!!

Sure feels like it has flown by this year and I have only just found time to read through all the previous entries. Love the creativity and variety every year

I have been reading A Christmas Carol by Dickens this week and came across this lovely description of Christmas to kick off my entry:

"There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say," returned the nephew; "Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas-time, when it has come round - apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that - as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver on my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!

Next I bring you a festive message from everyone's favourite BB finalist this year

But we all know that what Christmas is really about is the World Darts Championship. So let's enjoy some festive Ricky Evans walk on GIFs

And finally it might be cliché but no one else has posted it yet, plus it's only right with my festive name and you can never get bored of the Pogues. It also brings back very fond memories from this time last year when I watched them live in Dublin and did my Advent calendar entry that year over a pint of Guinness in a cracking pub

Wishing all on TiBB a very Merry Christmas and good tidings for 2026

This last stretch of work before Xmas always feels like running a marathon while already wearing your Christmas jumper—everyone’s smiling, but inside we’re counting the minutes and pretending to concentrate. Then comes the final weekend of panic buying, when you brave the shops for those “last few bits” and somehow come home with three tins of biscuits, novelty socks, and still no batteries. Family arrives for Christmas, including relatives you haven’t seen in a while, and within minutes it’s like no time has passed at all—same laughs, same stories, same gentle chaos—only now with better food and stronger drinks. Days blur into a wonderful haze of nice meals, festive treats, and refilled glasses, where you genuinely don’t know what day or time it is, and for once, you don’t need to care because routines are on pause and magic takes over. And the best part is realising that Christmas doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be real, shared, and warm, because in the end, the greatest gift isn’t what’s under the tree, but the people beside it and the memories you carry long after the lights come down.

And some quiz questions because why ever not!

In its a wonderful life what was George Baileys original profession before he was forced to take over the family business?

Which European country officially began the tradition of decorating christmas trees as we know it today?

In Gremlins what three specific rules must be followed to care for a mogwai?

Which actor famously turned down the role of Buddy the elf in the elf movie that they have said they have regretted since?

And I will end this with my TV highlights of 2025. And of course its the traitors both series 3 and celebrity. I cant wait for the new series

I’ve barely heard the Pogues this year, which is odd. Love the song.

As I stop to count my blessings
There is one thing that rings true
I will always be so grateful
For the friends I found in you.

Grateful for some special times
We have shared throughout the years
Times that bought us closer
Through the banter and the tears.

Most of us have never met
A mere image in my head
And the image is established
By how you post on threads.

And when I look upon my life
What matters in the end
Is what we have on this Forum
Some genuine caring friends...

First song Book of Days by Enya...nothing to do with Christmas but I love it.

Youtube video

Second song just has to be Greg Lake I believe in Father Christmas..

Youtube video

Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas and may 2026 bring you wealth and happiness...

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas rusti and also all you may hope for in the new year 2026.

Beautiful words and 2 recordings I absolutely adore.
I love Enya's music so much.

Again wishing you the very best of everything.
