Christmas Crackers Countdown
December 2021
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
If we repeat an activity from before, when does it actually become a tradition? Our greetings, cards, charities and jokes are arranged in order of the date Gelly Babes thought, or actually had, sent them me. ('Yes', even on-line posting can go astray, and 'no' it wasn't in my safe space or bin!).With a bit of untangling, downloading, transcribing and the addition of missing jokes, I think you will agree that we are a lovely bunch of babes and have a lovely blog. Enjoy the read!
Charlotte
Our chosen Charity is supporting Sofia and Satyam in their education in UK.
Sofia is now in year 10 and doing really well. She is proving to have a talent for languages, studying Russian, French, Spanish and English at GCSE.
Satyam is in year 9 and also doing well academically but his real talent is sport: cricket, swimming, off road cycling and now golf!
Merry Christmas, babes x x x
Knock, knock!

Gladys who?

Alison
I have made my donation to “sightsavers” which helps children across Africa

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I hope you all have a great Christmas,
Love from Alison xx

I am donating to the Guardian and Observer's appeal this year. Funds raised will support four charities fighting global climate injustice, for those who have been displaced or had their lives severely disrupted from flooding and drought, to rising sea levels.
(From my lockdown recycled card project and now recycled again!)
With love and hoping to see you all a lot more in in 2022! xx

Why are Christmas trees so bad at sewing?
They are always dropping their needles!

It was a hard task choosing a charity this year as a there seems to have been an increase in need both in the UK and across the world this year. I've chosen the International Rescue Committee (IRC) which responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you lovely friends.
Looking forward to meeting up with you all in January 2022.
Why does Santa have three gardens?
So he can 'ho, ho, ho'

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cross mouse cards.

I have chosen to send money to Tearfund. I have a lovely advent calendar
which sends me a daily message from the people around the world they are supporting.
Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2022.
Why was the turkey in the pop group?
