Well, here we are again, it's past 8pm, the smalls should be in bed, so 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

DanFmDorking · 24/12/2023 21:49

@SchoolGlue - (again sorry) - checking in my 'Christmas Puzzle' database I have records dating back to 2010 when there were only two hidden messages.
How many have you found?

OP posts:
Pushmepullyou · 24/12/2023 21:52

I’ve only found three so far -but my smalls are not so small anymore so still demanding my attention!

DanFmDorkingChristmasFanClub · 24/12/2023 22:09

Whoop whoop whoop!!! It's not Christmas until Dan arrives with The Puzzle. Xmas Wink

I've only been here 11 years so I've never known a Christmas without it.

Thanks Dan ❣️ Off to sleuth! & drink gin. xxx

I've only dabbled quickly & will come back to it tomorrow Dan. Until then, a massive thank you for Ernie Ford & his little boy Grin

Always a fan of peeking into gentler times from our current stressful society.

Merry Festivities Dan! 👍🏻Wine

Tiredandbored · 24/12/2023 22:45

Merry Christmas! 🎄
