Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.
If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.

Happy Wran's Day!
The Wren, or Lá An Dreoilín, is still strong in parts of Ireland (notably Kerry), with elements entwined with nature and the pagan roots of this time of year.

And down with the pan
Give us a penny to bury the wran"

With Walliams it's important to separate the art from the artist and remember that whatever he's done in his private life, his books are still absolute dogshit either way.

ESPN Sources: Six weeks after trading for him, the Jaguars are finalizing a three-year contract extension for WR Jakobi Meyers that ties him to Jacksonville through the 2028 season. Meyers was scheduled to be a free agent after this season but not anymore.

I know that it sometimes feels that we are making no progress as a country. But, as early as three or four years ago, these children would have had to talk to David W*lliams
