Christmas Links #8


Here’s which Christmas song you are based on your Bournemouth University degree:
"Do not panic, no Michael Buble is featured within this article."

"A Christmas spectacular described as “just terrible” by “really upset” families has been compared to a disappointing Willy Wonka-inspired event that became a viral sensation."

"People are being urged to post early to guarantee getting cards to their destination in time for Christmas - here's the final dates to send your cards home and abroad."

"Three-quarters of young people who usually celebrate Christmas won’t be drinking alcohol this year. Their parents, however, won’t be joining them in sobriety."

"“I know you’re a criminal, but maybe just do something nice because it’s Christmas,” said British chef Tommy Banks, after thieves stole a van full of pies."

"After losing his seat in parliament in the last general election, the controversial politician is diving into reality TV, but will his opinions be challenged?"

"Whether it's presents, food or decorations, it all adds up! David Smith reports."

"To be or not to be … a railfan."


"The Twelve Days of Christmas was published by The Society for Visual Education (SVE) and is catalog number A 860-24. This filmstrip was very faded and reddened; color correction is approximate. While the filmstrip itself shows a copyright date of 1963, the accompanying soundtrack cassette shows a copyright of 1972, so it is unclear when this version was published."

This hardback 256-page whopper pretty much keeps to the same formula as before, which is no bad thing."

"Selected by the Wallpaper* style team, a gleaming array of Christmas baubles for fashion fans featuring fantastical designs from Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Prada and more."

From Mumsnet: "That's near £50 in the next 2 weeks, I could honestly cry."

"I used to work as a receptionist and I'd watch these companies come in, charging more than a thousand quid to decorate a 15ft Christmas tree... I thought I could do a better job."
