It's never too early to start thinking about Xmas.



Yesterday's pantomime (aka The State Opening of Parliament) got me thinking about Xmas and it crossed my mind that our usual Xmas tree is getting passed its best. Perhaps this one would entertain grandchildren and visitors alike? But remember folks, a giraffe is not just for Xmas.
And if you really want to get into the festive spirit take a look at this short film from 1945/1946. An early version of Toy Story?  Given the animation technology (?) available at the time, it's pretty impressive. And here's an interesting fact, the Father Xmas figure was not in the original Czech version and was clipped in later for the USA market. 

And if you'd like to download a 'countdown to Xmas' clock just like this one I prepared a short while ago, go to http://www.xmasclock.com/ You know you want to.
