We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
For the first time in forever, someone wrote their own letter to Father Christmas, phonetically. After Excalibur wore his silver harness and crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we tearfully made our way through Christmas Eve, making reindeer food in the most haphazard way ever, and putting our sign out, so Father Christmas would know where we…
Poor St. George. Patron Saint of England and he’s so overlooked in the celebrations department.

It’s that time of year again when the Hallowe’en loving Jones Family realise that we have again let time run away with us, we have no costumes for Hallowe’en, and the big day is just over a week away. In that time we need to fit in a visit to the pumpkin patch in the…
