Well seen a house today with the Halloween lantern in the Window and beside it was (would you believe) a Christmas tree with all all the lights on twinkling away.

At least you get a celebration, those of us born in early January get stuck with joint Christmas/birthday presents and everyone too Christmas/New Year'ed out to make an effort.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

Oh, Lin... living through another one is better than the alternative
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
