seasonal greetings

Happy holidays "to one and all" - may the blogfairy be good to you and yours.
This year - as in 1988 above - "the twirly thing" is out on the table, surrounded by pinecones.
An extravagant purchase in my library-school days of 1981, it continues to delight, and has seen xmas in Halifax, Oxford, Sparsholt Rd N19, and now Stroud Green Rd N4.

Happy Christmas, Margaret. Snap! We also have a 'twirly thing' which we bought in Germany - in fact some of the best/nicest decorations were bought while living in Germany - including a 'smoking man' and a couple of Nussknackers. They too have travelled around and wherever we have been we have added to the international collection. Hilary
