Additionally, greetings from Santa

In the opening calendar topic we mentioned we were going to try get a hold of Santa to see if he might have a little something for you. We managed to speak with him, even though understandably he is super busy this time of year... 

We managed to get 10 x £20 Amazon vouchers! 

We'll hold a raffle for the vouchers shortly amongst all participants of the calendar activity, and will let you know who are the lucky winners in this topic.

I'm a bit late to the party as I just got back, but wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone regardless and I hope you all have a lovely last few days of 2019!

[Cleoriff]

Thanks @Marjo  I hope yours was good as well? Oh and Happy New Year.

[Marjo]

I had a lovely time, thanks @Cleoriff  Happy New Year to you too!

Very late to the party here after a very busy lead up to Christmas (I'm selling my house and moving 150 miles away).  So a crazy time for me at the moment. A belated Happy New Year to you all (and even more belated Happy Christams )

[TallTrees]

Good luck with your moving @welshsteve76
Thanks for your good wishes and
Happy new year to you 👍

[Cleoriff]

Hope the move goes well and Happy New Year to you

[Mi-Amigo]

Hope your move goes OK @welshsteve76 and belated Seasons Greetings

It is a stressful time, but also exciting. Everything is coming together slowly, so hopefully all will go well. I know the area quite a bit already so hopefully I'll settle quickly
