Hello dreadfuls 
Christmas was invented in 1832 by Pepsi, one half of the duo who provided backing vocals for the rockband Wham! Originally designed as a demonstration march against Sir Walter Raleigh's groove armada, it quickly settled into a two day celebration of getting knocked down and getting back up again, you're never going to keep me down, also why am I in a cave with a spear in my bum? This is not so much a theological question as it is a hermeneutical and exegetical issue. And that young man's name? Jesus Einstein.
Now in its centenial year, this 75 year old event is known for two things: presents. You might know them as 'shop treasures' or 'inside sparklies' if you schooled at the other place but most normal people just refer to them as 'gifties'.
Can you tell us which gifties you are hoping for this year. Post up to one picture as supporting evidence if you like the smell of those apples.
