I missed a couple of days but here’s a Christmas pic of my phone: a Christmas Bewitched!

I would actually *love* a massive 1950s aluminium Christmas tree.

Today in “random Christmas photos from Emma’s phone” we have a pic from a festive episode of Blankety Blank from the early 80s.

There’s a possibility I might forget to share this next week…my Bluesky might be the place that appreciates this most.

I appear to have run out of pictures of Christmas crafts I will never do on my phone BUT I have found a vintage card of a mammoth and a dinotherum. Compliments of the Season from these fine fellows!

It’s the best time of the year! Get those highlighters out!

I really do have a lot of instructions for Christmas crafts from children’s books I’m unlikely to ever do stored on my phone. This is from The Berenstain Bears Old Fashioned Christmas

If you see this drop a pic from the last place your passport was stamped.

The bank of the Seine river, Maisons-Laffitte, France

Another retro Christmas craft I saved on my phone but will probably never do.

No cheating: Your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist
A moomin is definitely a celebrity in this part of the world.

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.

An old friend on top of the tree. Putting up Mum and Dad’s Christmas angel.

These ones are much better! (I changed my mind and decided to post *several* better examples.) And please stay safe with small magnets. And batteries!

This really is awful public health messaging. This is an example of the UK ones. (I’ve done medical communications so it’s an interest!)

Today’s random Xmas pic from my phone is…The instructions to make the famous Blue Peter Advent Crown. Every year since childhood I’ve wanted to make it but I’ve never actually managed. Maybe Christmas 2025? I’ll do a TikTok or Insta or something when I do.

More random Xmassy pics from my phone. My kids have the Berenstain Bears Bible (it’s charming 💯 recommend if you’re not religious but want the stories for your kids). Here is the Nativity with bears!

I decided to look through my photos for any random Christmas related pictures I might have. My search did not disappoint.

Thing about Bluesky is…none of you have seen my annual memes

The mystery of Christmas in the Flintstones Universe: They are a Stone Age family so presumably pre-Christ. But they celebrate Christmas? The theme tune tells us they’re a “modern stone age family” are they in fact merely *living* as Stone Age? This, of course, explains The Jetsons crossover episode

Annual reminder St Nicolas was a Klingon…

Today’s “Why did I save it?” photo 🤷🏻‍♀️I’ve no idea! I must have had a reason to see a Japanese painting of squids and squid people but I can’t remember what it was.
November 24, 2024 at 9:42 AM
Another “Why did I save this?” 🤷🏻‍♀️I haven’t a clue.
November 22, 2024 at 9:49 PM
Another in my new occasional series exclusive to Bluesky “I must have saved this for a reason” I guess it’s a ghost on a highway? And the man is trying to scare it off unaware it’s non-corporeal? Why did I save it? Haven’t a clue!

Bargain scored at TK Maxx…The Wizard of Oz Adventure Book Game I’ve had my eye on greatly reduced. I’m thinking a bit of an Oz themed weekend is in order with Wicked, the game, I think the Wiz is on streaming somewhere…

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.
