Willow's Christmas Facts
Hello everybody I have been asked to present some facts about Christmas in the run-up to the festival so here goes. I will be posting every other night.
No.1 - Saint Nicholas http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=24378 http://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/fo...ictureid=24377 |
Thank you Willow never knew that:tu
Looking forward to the next one:D |
On the first day of Christmas Willow sent to us, the first of her Xmas facts:-D
Thanks Willow, lovely to see you again:tu |
Interesting stuff Willow. I didn't know the colour of Santa's outfit was decided by a Coca-Cola ad.

Well said Willow, Santa is a creation of an evil corporation out for tooth rotting world domination.......
.....but it tastes so nice!!!!! Karrot |
Excellent Willow, :tu
Having once lived in the very far North I've heard another version but we'll leave that for now as the folks who told me it still firmly believe in Trolls too. :eek: I do look forward to the "Holidays Are Coming" advert on TV though, it kinda sets the scene. We're all ready and waiting for your next fact :D (and your lovely picture). ;) CT |
Thank you Willow, such a lovely idea. :tu
I was secretly hoping for an 'Advent Nicole' calendar. :whistle: An item of clothing opens / gets removed every day :drool |

Thank You Willow
Thank you Willow for helping folk remember there is so much more to Christmas than greed. Santa/St Nicholas - good chap and keeps us jolly.
I have been told by Ekaterina that they used traditionally to celebrate Christmas on January 7th according to the old calendar and the presents are brought for the children by "Father Frost" and the Snow Maiden. For myself - I hear the Red Cloak and white beard go as far back as the "Allfather - Odin! Christmas? Yule? Whatever! Have a good and happy one. |
