Delightful! How lovely to see a gift given and received joyfully! and just one more thing...Merry Christmas!

BTW, and then it'll be time to tuck this away for a year: A great thing about this great essay is that the author is actually reading and illuminating what's on the screen, not devising spurious, fantastic alternatives.

Hooray! Merry Christmas!

Hooray! You do tremendous work, merriest of christmasses!

Hooray! Merry Christmas!

Hooray! Merry Christmas!

Hooray! Merry Christmas!

Happy no-longer-with-us birthday to the magnificent Quentin Crisp!

Merry Christmas everyone! We’re back on Saturday & Sunday from Midday to 4pm…In the meantime have a wonderful time! 🎄🎁❤️

Merry Christmas! You're all lovely and your hair looks terrific today.

The world needs more of the spirit from the Good Life Christmas special of Jerry’s ‘on the right occasion these will be just the thing’

We’re open till 7pm today and tomorrow folks…the racks and shelves are full, new stock still being priced and put out and a new batch of vouchers and totes and tees…Perfect for those last minute gifts…See ya here! 🎁💥🚀😎

the cafe I'm in is playing George Michael's 'other' Christmas song and I'm reminded of how terrific it is.

Hooray! Merry Christmas to you all!

This is totally brilliant:

These are GREAT bags, essential Christmas presents I'd say.

Your other yearly reminder that the Christmas episode of Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour might be the only Xmas music you need to play for the holiday to get festive. Trust me: it’s an excellent way to spend two Yule hours. (Also available on the Internet Archive, among other places.)

Hooray! Merry Christmas Sean!

What could be more festive? Merry Christmas Bex (and Luke)!

Hooray! Merry Christmas Gargarin!

Hooray! Merry Christmas Jim!

Hooray! Merry Christmas None More!

Hooray! Merry Christmas Alison!

Hooray! Merry Christmas Kevin!

Hey Kids! Terribly sorry, been busy getting the last orders out before Christmas (and dealing with a postal service that appears to have not anticipated an extra demand at this time of year. Bonuses all round lads!) anyway, the Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll shop is now closed for a week...

Day 13 of the musical advent calender and a slightly different one today celebrating Dick Van Dyke A clip from his TV show from some time in the mid 1960s with Mary Tyler Moore. I Have Everything But You. Happy 100th Birthday, Dick Van Dyke. youtu.be/IMpplA5B8wk?...

Very sad news about Raul Malo. I'm a huge fan of the Mavericks and his terrific Christmas album is a reliable fixture round here at this time of year. A truly magnificent voice. youtu.be/d3oPnv6oG48?...

Hooray! Thank you 😊

Day 3 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a shameless plug for a piece I have in a charity auction run by @skullsandsheets.bsky.social . There is some brilliant small artwork, including this 13cm x 19cm piece by myself #ArtYear #art

New episode! YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968) - with Joel Morris pod.link/1569929507 All aboard the Goon Pod as Beatles tackle Blue Meanies! Could there BE anything more timeless yet still wonderfully Sixties? Joel - @gralefrit.bsky.social - & Tyler explore why this joyous film earns a place on the show!

Been v busy and wanted to post about the 10th anniversary of #DoctorWho - Heaven Sent when I read this article that Rachel shared. This episode screened a year after I lost Becky and I found it incredibly insightful about the nature of grief. So much so, I wrote to Steven Moffat about it (1/n)

Another week of magic begins folks…the shop is bursting with wonderful music and cool stuff! Open midday to 7pm all week…See ya here!! ⚡️🎷💥🚀
