Well, here we are again, it's past 8pm, the smalls should be in bed, so for those who are not partying and running around in circles here's something to keep you occupied.

Hidden in this message, I said HIDDEN, are various Christmas greetings.
What can you see? How many can you find?

(Actually, there's a few that aren't Christmassy at all but might make you smile)

I would be grateful if rather than post 'the answer', one could 'PM' the particulars to the perplexed.

“For all those finding it difficult: the sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away” - Captain Sir Tom.

May your Christmas sparkle and shine,
May your dreams and wishes come true

Ba do be dooooo

Thank you for putting this together. I'm tackling it in the bath this year. So if I don't answer I'll have dropped my phone in the bath! Again Wink

Merry Christmas to you & your family Wine x

Can't listen to them this late so I've made a nice play list on YouTube for most of them and I'll find my pods in the morning. Glad to see you made a strong start with soul santa. If that wasn't included every year I'd worry.

I'm looking forward to Korea and the opera one I think.

DanFmDorking · 25/12/2022 01:05

@AdventFridgeOfShame - thank you
@WingBingo - thank you
@zen1 - just one more to find - good luck
@Pyjamageddon - good luck tomorrow
@Pascha - and good luck tomorrow as well
Let me know which was your favourite.

Ah bless her, so cute! Thanks Dan

DireBetes · 25/12/2022 01:14

I look out for this every Christmas Eve, this Christmas so far has been fairly difficult and I’d forgotten, got into bed and stumbled across it.
Thank you so much, for putting all this effort in yet again, it honestly means an awful lot.
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas ❤️❤️

Marz · 25/12/2022 02:13

How do I play please?

runningpink · 25/12/2022 07:08

Will PM @Marz
