Good Morning, Christmas

Well hello, tinsel-trimmed readers.

Please do not let the chap to your left put you off your eggnog; he's just a trifle glum because he hasn't been invited to the Well Fan My Brow Continental Christmas Market yet!

Not to be outdone by Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Vienna, Salzburg and Southport, we (Norv and me) decided to hold our very own market of good cheer in the backyard of WFMB HQ.With just one week off from my Big Apple sojourn, I thought: what better way to celebrate being back in the North West than with a ruddy good attempt at a European festive-themed mart?


For your delectation, please find below the provisional line-up of stalls:

Spit-roasted Care Bear
Not too sure if we can get hold of any hogs in such a short time but a slice of this in a bun should be just as tasty.
Mulled 7 UP
We're both a bit skint actually.
Breadsticks in a Pint Pot
Pretzels were obviously our first choice for wheat-based snacks to soak up all the 7 UP.
Branston Pickle at 20% off
Christmas is a crime without chutney.
Mini Babybels
No explanation needed.

So that's it with the food and drink. Now comes the fabulous assortment of gifts on offer:

Sellotape Chokers
Little sister sorted.
Paperclip Wristbands
Older brother ticked off.
Kitchen Roll Paperweights
Anyone would kill to find one of these in their stockings.
Millenium-themed Coasters
Perfect for the vintage homeware specialist in your life.
Wood
Everybody craves a nice bit of wood at this time of year.

Say you'll be there, readers!
Say it. Please.
It'll be lonely without you.
