Is it Joan's birthday? Well, a VERY happy birthday to you, Joan!!! I hope things are going well with the new kitchen!

Your birthday wishes are very welcome and much enjoyed! Chocolate has been enjoyed, coffee and tea, and I'm thinking my way into the rum cake Michael.

Apologies Joan! I forgot to post this.
Belated wishes for a very happy birthday and big hopes for a better year to come, for all of us.

Awwwwe - thanks ever so Caro - neat cake! Not sure I could ever produce something as amazing as that even from a new kitchen!

The first 24 were easy ... I got the last one eventually. It was very obvious.

Fire at Christmas

The search for Mrs. Claus

It's already Christmas day on the 'other' side of the world so ...

That was fun

Nope - Mrs Claus No 25 eludes me!

There were two that I found tricky - in large part because clicking on them did not make an obvious change/shadow.

With everything that 2020 brought us, I thought we could do with a bit of softness.

Have a soft, warm, bouncy, furry and merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Happy (or at the least OK!) Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

That was a hard one - took me a long time to find the last!
There's also a reindeer one, which I found easier thanks to the antlers.
