Sleigh bell ringing and ring-ting whatevering going on all over the place at the moment! Everyone is getting into some kind of Holiday Festival Spirit type of thing so I thought I would join in – by dragging out interesting facts and history.

Instead of spending that grubby stuff they call money on my blog hungry devotees – I have also been looking around this internets thing and have found some FaceTube Videos for you to Socially Digg your Tweets at!!!
Wow – its true, I am awesome, so save your emails of gratitude. So without further ado I give you a nice Christmasy link to Gizmodo, and their article on Christmas Lights.

Normally I have something, a link, idea, opinion, point of view – in fact, normally I have to be told to stop talking (usually by people around me!) . . . not today . . .
I have been sat here wracking my brains, struggling to remember that cool thing I saw the other day, that site I wanted to point the world to. Waiting for that moment of inspiration that just flows, can inspire me to write a few words about the subject – and not just blindly link to something. But sadly . . . not today . . .
So I have embedded a link below that may offer some explanation of how frustrating not being able to write, create – or even in this case – compose a simple blog can be. The talk is by a fantastic writer called Elizabeth Gilbert who spoke at a TED Conference in February 2009
Clever advertising requires a savvy and creative team, but a series of ads for Play-Doh in a magazine from Singapore took it a little too far. Inventive? Or just creepy?
These advertisements were only printed a single time, as upon the discovery by parent company Hasbro that somebody in their Singapore office had approved the ads, they promptly pulled the ads.
These images apparently try to remind people that Play-Doh is extremely safe for children to play with, but we’d be far more concerned if your kid was fashioning switchblades of clay than if they accidentally ingested a bit of Play-D…
