Driving home for Christmas

[venta]

Last week, I invited people to swap Christmas traditions. There weren't many takers, so I present here a small selection of traditions anyone can choose from.

1. Read 101 Dalmations.
2. Buy a new bauble for the tree.
3. Read Tolkien's The Father Christmas Letterson Christmas Eve, preferably an illustrated edition.

(These traditions belong to huskyteer, lnr and me, respectively.)

Let me know if you give any of them a whirl. Especially if you're currently gritting your teeth for a Christmas with not-especially-compatible relations (in which case, my sympathy!)

I'm currently indulging in another Christmas tradition, that of being in crap traffic on the M1. I don't recommend it at all.

The words alone of the letters are probably quite fun, so definitely a good buy for 99p!

My edition (which languished on my shelf for years, because I was surprisingly unfamiliar-book-phobic when little) has facsimiles of the letters, and transcripts (just as well, because Tolkien's Father Christmas' writing is pretty, but a bugger to read).
