#SecretSantaAoNZ This gift is so good you can even eat the packaging! Trying to recall if I said how I love caramel corn in my hints? I've previously only had Christine Harris in these colours in jugs so it's perfection, I am delighted by the candle idea Thank you Santa & Santa's husband 💘

Blue and pink Christine Harris cup and saucer, green and peach Christine Harris cup and saucer, delicious white chocolate

Sorry for the lateness wonderful Santa! I had to nom the Kitkat immediately because I needed it to cut through th metric tonne of cheese I just ate. The Woolworths vouchers will get me a bottle of champagne and the decadence of 2 weeks in a row shall be delightful. Kindness & generosity thanks xxx

Ooh, doop doop, doop doo doop Ooh, doop doop, doop doo doop I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where those treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow

Then I, I, I am dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I, I, I am dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow🎶🎵

“Afterall u never know.’ ‘U never know what?’ ‘Just, never know, u know.’ ‘Sometimes u know,’ said Ridcully ‘I think I know quite a lot that I didn’t used to know. It’s amazing what u do end up knowing, I sometimes think I often wonder what new stuff I’ll know.’ ‘Well, u never know.’ ‘That’s a fact”

The Josh Kirby cover for Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather" depicts a vibrant, slightly whimsical scene. The Hogfather, dressed in a red and white suit like Santa, is seen in the center of the illustration, driving his sleigh, which is pulled by enormous piggies, across a snowy night with stars so bright

“But, I mean, the Hogfather doesn’t drop down the chimney and pinch people’s grub!” THE BEGGARS WILL ENJOY IT, ALBERT. “Well, yes, but—” IT WASN’T STEALING. IT WAS JUST . . . REDISTRIBUTION. IT WILL BE A GOOD DEED IN A NAUGHTY WORLD. “No, it won’t!”

THEN IT WILL BE A NAUGHTY DEED IN A NAUGHTY WORLD AND WILL PASS COMPLETELY UNNOTICED.”
― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

“YOU KNOW. HO. HO. HO. “Well, u brought some magic into that little life,” said Albert, as the next child was hurried away. IT’S THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR LITTLE FACES I LIKE, said the Hogfather. “U mean sort of fear & awe & not knowing whether to laugh or cry or wet their pants?”

"YES. NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL BELIEF.”
― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
