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

I have now found another so I'm on ten ! I didn't manage to find them all last year, but am determined to this year. Will prob have to wait until tomorrow though as we are joining family, I don't think they would appreciate me taking my iPad !

Ugh I’m so thick, I never get these things 😭

‘Hidden in this message, I said HIDDEN, are various Christmas greetings.’

….. uh there’s a massive list of lots of repeated Christmas greetings right there 😄 I don’t have the patience for this I think. It’s my one flaw.

Thank you! First timer here, and really enjoyed watching these.

We all agreed on no.10 - absolutely cracking up here! 🤣

The penultimate one is lovely, I have seen this before, but not for a while so thanks @DanFmDorking for the revisit!

A Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🌟

Awrite · 25/12/2023 07:25

@DanFmDorking - can you send me a pm too pretty please 🙏

TimeIhadaNightCapwithSanta · 25/12/2023 07:30

Thanks so much for this, have been looking forward to it.

Am not going to investigate just now, will wait til my littly is up and watch them with her.

Hope you, and everyone else here, has a lovely day.
