Merry Christmas to my mother, who got my toddler a toy fire engine that not only makes lots of noise, it also sprays real water

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016.
He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.

I've never made it to Bungay but I once visited the museum in another Suffolk town beginning with B. There were two elderly ladies on duty. One of them asked if I'd visited the town before. "Yes", once". She produced a large framed photo of some townsfolk c1945 and said "do you recognise anyone?"

I could tell so many stories about my 4 years as volunteer curator of Bungay Museum. Most of these fall under the category of ‘things we found damp in 1980s carrier bags placed there by the previous curator’
I think we need a mega thread of everyone's craziest archive stories.

Husband chatting to Old Lady Dog:
"No, I don't think Santa brought this for you. Dogs can't have wine. But I was talking to Santa earlier and he said maybe Husky Santa will drop round later with some fish heads. But only if you're good. Husky Santa brings coal too. Stop trying to drink my wine."

I have made a #DuvetKnowItsChristmas bingo card! And done alt text on it (as everyone else should, if they're able).

#DuvetKnowItsChristmas is also a great hashtag to check out on Christmas Eve/Day for some smiles. Some unlikely and fun sleeping places for people visiting others at Christmas. Here's one of my favourites from last year.

Just saw a lump on the road, stopped my car & went to help what was clearly a hedgehog in distress.
Reader, it was a mangel worzel. A loamy tuber.

Argh, now I’ve got it too. So I’m sharing it!
Just pondered some paint I recently bought which wasn't right and suddenly the phrase "A waste of money" popped into my head to the tune of A Taste Of Honey, as covered by The Beatles, and I don't think I'm getting rid of that particular intrusive thought any time soon

Christmas is a time of over-eating. But we're not the biggest feasters. Hermetia illucens (Black-Soldier fly) larvae are capable of eating up to 2x its own body mass in food per day - the best bio recyclers consuming our waste

Not unusual by any stretch of the imagination but almost as a Right of Passage, Far Lane in the village where I grew up had a 'T' added. The parish council gave up cleaning the sign and commissioned one with absolutely no space after the 'R'. A sad day for teens in the village - pretty harmless fun
