From this part of the world my and mine's wishes also to you and yours wherever you are around the globe. Thank you fellow Ford V8 driver Peter for starting this thread, thank you the admirable and reportedly very nice and One Of Us Jerry Entin for joining in, to Rodney happy Hanukah too( I recall a lovely Jewish girl called Ingrid in my youth), and Eldougo, the Italian end of all those very good Ralts, what better way to start a Christmas NF celebration?

Dont wait. It would probably be churlish not to join in.

Barry, it isn't nice to sling off at the elderly......... just because you're the youngest bloke on Malta!

We came back from Hawaii last week. Seems funny to be travelling around there with Christmas music playing everywhere. We heard a different version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Here is a link:

I guess I should put our lights up...maybe when it warms up a bit :rolleyes:

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

And this at the Bay Centre here in Victoria, BC, Canada last year:

There is another coming up this Saturday.

Yes, I noticed the blue and yellow Dinky Ferrari. What livery does that represent?

Blue and yellow; Argentina's national racing colours. The group of half a dozen Dinky racing cars included a red Alfa and a red and white [Switzerland] Maserati so it appears someone had the good idea to introduce a different colour scheme for the Ferrari. 50s Christmases involved a lot of Dinkies for me but never the racing cars. I've since made up for it!

The Dinky etc racers are hard to come by unless you have Repco 22's wallet

It was only the mine manager's kids who got Dinkies for Xmas.

My collection has Lago Talbot. HWM and Crescent Toys Gordini. The rest are mainly Solido.

Cheers.
John.

Hear hear.

I can only echo all the good wishes to everyone, and as I've just learned this for use elsewhere, I'd like to say:

Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad!

That's a stunning piece of work Tony. A D50 in the stocking would do very nicely thanks! :up:

Happy Christmas everyone :wave:

Christmas health and safety message.

All employees planning to dash through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are advised that a Risk Assessment will be required addressing the safety of an open sleigh for members of the public. This assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered.

To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance. Benches, stools and orthopedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night. While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all users of this facility are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks. The angel of the lord is additionally reminded that, prior to shining his/her glory all around, s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Following last year’s well publicised case, everyone is advised that Equal Opportunities legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the ruddiness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offense.

While it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions.

Finally, in the recent case of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.
