The Holly is up..

[Scrumpy]

Have others noticed that we now have Holly decoration at the top of the forum page..!!
Thank you Klondike.. Did you use a ladder... !!  'elf and safety and all that..
 No Holly on the other forum.. miserable sod..

Bit sparse this year - as I said in the boring thread the annoying tinkly balls and and banner seems to have blown a fuse - it hasn't been updated to run on the current forum release. Anyway I've been busy tracking down some candid shots of Vlad up to no good at the Jockey's Nostril. I didn't think the old dog still had it in him.

The Holly is good.   At least a bit of Holly is better than nowt,  Klondie.   

Don't forget some Mistletoe  for New Years Eve though.

I may ask the bloke who dug up those candid snaps of Vlad with his errrm.. friends if he can come up with something but he seemed to have a hangover when I asked him about the Christmas one this morning and just came up with unusable junk so maybe I'll have to have a go myself - unless you fancy celebrating 2023 again.

I think we all ought to meet up together at the Jockey's Nostril for either Christmas Eve drinks together,  or  a New Year's Eve party. 

Charlie the Charabanc owner owes me a favour,  so if I ask him nicely, we could all get picked up so we don't have to drive.
Anyone fancy it?    I can book us in with Vlad's head barmaid.

reminds me of the tale of Christmas long past. SC and the elves were slaving away because the weather had been milder then usual. There was a knock at the door, and, seething with frustration, SC answered it to find a fairy there with a Christmas tree. Treating SC to a beaming smile she said 'were would you like me to stick this, Santa?' And that was the start of the fairy in the top of the tree

    Christmas long past indeed

aaaw  I liked the first one better !  this one is a bit fat and not so green and you have to scroll a bit back to get ' unread posts'

[klondike]

I'll fiddle it.

I've lightened it and made it smaller. It was AI generated and it made it too big really. It's still deeper but not by so much and I've made it brighter. I suppose I'd better shrink the New Year one too. The first one worked OK on my screen anyway but screens vary.

Can't we have some sparking lights, or maybe snow falling on Santa?

[klondike]

We did once through a mod but it wasn't updated so can't be installed but if you are volunteering to write one I'll install it.

I think it is quite pretty,  although I do agree about perhaps a little greener and maybe a twinkly light or two?
But thank you Klondike,  for trying to make it look nice and Christmassy for us all.

That's much better Klondy, it's very festive  🎅 thank you

I'd like to help, but fear my colour blindness may lead to a gaudy creation (which isn't a reference to a Barcelona architect).  Out of politeness, members on here would decide to keep schtum, but my reputation would be in irreparable tatters, even more so than it is now.

Can we have a fairy with a wand.. !!
