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

Anyone for a Friday afternoon puzzle?

I finally got round to doing this year's puzzle in peace without DC or DP disturbing me!

Bravo as always @DanFmDorking - I love the last one even if it did take me ages to spot it!

Still not sure I've got them all so going back round once DC is in bed.

@Someaddedsugar - Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it/them

There were supposed to be 13 to find but I got confused and accidentally posted one from last year (Claire singing) so there are 14 to find.
(The old people home seems a tad closer now!)

Which is your favourite?

Another bump for the night crowd

please may I have a PM hint as not sure where to start.

@bitereactionkneepain - Sorry about the delay - I've just sent you a 'PM'.
Hope you enjoy them. I'd like to keep the thread 'alive' so please post which is your favourite.
Best wishes - Dan

I've just stumbled across this. Sounds like great fun! One question.... WTF?

I love puzzles. I'm good at puzzles. I can not see where to even start here?

@WillYouPutYourCoatOn - Sorry to keep you waiting - I've just sent you a 'PM' - hope you enjoy them.
I'd like to keep the thread 'alive' so please post which is your favourite.

Ah just saw in the “I’m on” section that people are still enjoying your festive puzzle Dan. Well done! For us it is the settling kids down on Christmas Eve activity. By the time we’ve found them all the kids are always asleep.

If you ever decide not to do it, please can you pop a little message on just to say “not this year!” Otherwise many mumsnetters will think a festive tragedy has befallen you and be heartbroken. 😨

@RogersOrganismicProcess - Ohhhhh - thank you soooo much for your lovey post - I enjoy doing it although I will admit to slight anxiety just before I press 'post' - have I formatted it all correctly!

'Yes', to your "not this year!" question - it will be all be down to you!!

Happy New Year to you and your family - Dan

Ab evening bump

A midnight bump

A New Year bump

An afternoon bump

Can I have a PM please? I’m intrigued but clueless ATM!

@maybekauri I've just sent you a 'PM' - hope you enjoy them.
I'd like to keep the thread 'alive' so please post which is your favourite.

I found 14 the second time around and only 12 the first.

I really enjoyed the happy little boy and his moth.

@RedDiamond - Thanks for this - yes, his laughter is infectious
Happy New Year - Best Wishes - Dan

… so at the short sighted Terrier of time chases the startled stick insect of hope and the supple Dachshund of fate is knotted by the absent minded balloon magician of eternity - I notice it's the evening of the last Bank Holiday - time to let this thread slide down to oblivion.

Firstly, a big thanks to the Christmas Elves @DanFmDorkingChristmasFanClub, who sent helpful PMs and posts when I couldn't.

Secondly, thank you for all your kind posts and PMs - I enjoyed reading them.

I hope you found them all and enjoyed yourselves - here they are:-

1).. White Christmas
2).. Ernie Ford - singing with a little boy by his side
3).. Away In A Manger - 9 year old Claire Crosby
4).. Lone Wales fan belts out anthem at Stade de France and French fans absolutely love it
5).. Dame Edna in royal box
6).. Choir! sings Sinéad O'Connor Nothing Compares 2 U
7).. Are elephants attracted to David Mitchell? Would I Lie to You?
8).. Mid-Repair Discovery Hits Suzie Emotionally, The Repair Shop
9).. A man said what he was actually thinking
10).. Hilarious kid comes up with brilliant name for pet moth and can’t stop laughing
11).. Ghosts- Alison and the ghosts singing In the Bleak Midwinter
12).. Ian Wright’s teacher gave him direction and purpose during his turbulent upbringing
13).. Bruno Mars Marry You flash mob proposal Shant and Lina
14).. e-card

There are 16 to find
... Wait, wait, no, no, you said 14 and there are only 14 mentioned above
Yep
… So why do you say 16?
There are two bonus ones
… Bonus ones? What? Where are they?
Ahhh, not too far away, you have to find them

Sometimes there is pleasure in the small things
Check the weather for the New Year.

Thanks peeps - best wishes for the New Year -
