May Joy be your gift at Christmas and may Faith, Hope, and Love be your
treasures in the New Year.

Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the
Son of God." Luke 1:35

…awww, Maru……I hadn’t read anything in another thread son hadn't released about your loss or how you’ve been struggling…as well as your other dog family member because of course, they lost a mate and companion as well…but as sad as you’ve felt, there is much sweetness as well in having made the family complete with your new arrival from the shelter…which I know will bring that much needed joy and focus again for all of you…I wish you and your family, humankind and dog-kind a very joyful festive season and many smiles and much laughter together for 2025……

Lovely messages Maru and LT….happy Christmas to you both

This year, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah begins at sundown on Christmas Day. To celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah, I want to share my recipe for Hanukkah cake. It’s really easy, made with traditional seasonal ingredients like cinnamon and apple and fills the house with seasonal smells while it cooks. If you have time, give it a go and enjoy.

Hanukkah Cake

300g sugar
+ 60ml sugar set aside separately
70g unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
180g cream cheese
2 eggs
350g plain flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 medium apples chopped into large pieces (either do this immediately before you add them, or you can do them earlier and put them into water with a little lemon juice to stop them going brown)

1 Preheat oven 350f/180c/170fan/gas 4.

2 Prepare an 8” baking tin by greasing it with a little butter.

3 Beat together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and 300 ml of sugar

4 Add the eggs

5 In a separate bowl, mix together the flower with the baking powder and salt.

6 In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon with the rest of the sugar (60ml). Stir 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the flour mixture and save the remaining cinnamon and sugar mix for the topping.

7 Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture into a smooth batter and fold in the chopped apples.

8 Pour the batter into the baking tin and smooth the top and sprinkle over the cinnamon and sugar you saved earlier.

9 Bake in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes until the cake pulls away slightly from the edges of the baking tin.

10 Cool and serve.


Wishing everyone on TiBB a very Merry Christmas to you and yours, and health and happiness in the coming year.

All that remains is to post a seasonal message from the leader of the free world, President Elect Trump. @Alf and @Christmas Dynamo, you're going to want to see this...

Swan's turn today....

[Kate!]

No sign of Swan, he is probably working.

In the meantime I'll shortly post a poem.

[Kate!]

So here is a poem I was going to post on Boxing Day, you'll see why when you read it, it's set after Christmas Day....

It's by a lady called Diane Bohn, I found it online, wish I could have been talented enough to have written it, but nevertheless here goes...

Christmas may be over
The stockings put away
The chocolate and the cookies
Enjoyed another day

Now the New Year's coming
All hurry on their way
To live their busy lives
No more thoughts of Santa's sleigh

Although the seasons come and go
And holidays have their cheer
The spirit of Christmas can stay in our hearts
To warm and bless all year

I hope you had a Merry Christmas
Full of Christmas spirit
But more than that, I hope your year
Has much happiness and love in it.

[Swan]

Oh man, i dunno what to say tbh

But yeah, will keep it short and sweet.


Merry Christmas to everyone on TiBBS, we're like one big dysfunctional family. Even those i don't always get along with i consider friends in a strange way . And of course to all the people im close to on here. Im so glad i found this place, whether im arguing with Zizu in the football threads, driving myself mad in serious debates, or just generally being a complete prat (usually drunk ) I really do like this place...

So yeah, sorry for it not being much. I hope every one has a brilliant Christmas

Will leave you with a criminally underrated Christmas song...

Thank you for your calendar entry, most excellent. Like the song, I was actually playing it on YouTube yesterday.
