I feel bound to point out that this means Christmas can legitimately comprise 11% of your year. Rounding up, but only a little bit.
In fact, medieval peasants celebrated Christmas until Candlemas (2nd Feb), so fill your boots.

Finished Thinger Strangs. Quite impressed they actually *finished* it, rather than setting up for a Stranger Things: The Next Generation right off the bat. Wonder how long it'll take for the spinoffs to start.

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

I'm specifically holding off on replacing my (old, loved, but knackered) 2006 Mazda 3 until after I've moved house because my only option is too wide to comfortably get in the drive here. It's a small change - about 15cm wider - but it's enough to be a problem, for a car that's in the same class.

The danger here is that I have a 3d printer. I am not putting up a tree for myself this year for reasons, but I will be visiting several other trees over the next month...
Every year we treat ourselves to a new decoration or two for the Christmas tree and this year’s additions are just absolutely outstanding
Tempted to not add anything else as we basically have a muppet Christmas tree

Unrelated to the content, is there a name for this type of speech photo, specifically using the microphones as a visual prop? I remember seeing one of Nigel Lawson as chancellor which gave him a fantastic clown's nose. It seems to be a tradition but it's not one that I've ever seen commented on.
I wrote on allegations about Nigel Farage from his school contemporaries. The key test for Reform on racism may be less about Nigel Farage’s schooldays than their 2025 reputation & why 7/10 ethnic minority Britons currently feel that Reform fail on racism

How Farage fails the racism test
Would a person from an ethnic minority trust Nigel Farage in power? So long as the answer remains “no”, Farage and the Reform party are unfit for office

It's a very odd combination of feelings, wandering around the house and seeing things I've wanted to fix and thinking "Someone else's problem now." Countdown to the move hasn't formally started but it already feels less like my home.
