    Animated version of Clement C. Moore's "Night Before Christmas" by Mary Engelbreit

    £4.00 to £6.00 elsewhere

    The Night Before Christmas t'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring....except for Gregory, a very curious little mouse. When Gregory overhears a naughty fairy, Implestik, planning to keep Santa from delivering toys, he embarks on an adventure to save Santa and Christmas. With the help of an old mouse, Augustus, a wise owl, a wonderful fairy, Elliester, and others, will Gregory be able to save Santa and Christmas in time?

    Inspired by the best-selling book, beloved artist Mary Engelbreit brings Clement C. Moore's classic "The Night Before Christmas" to life in brilliant CGI animation. Featuring the voice talent of Academy Award®-winning actor Kevin Kline (De-lovely, Dave), this magical DVD is certain to become a holiday favourite for the whole family.

    Well done Jordan :T

    Not much done in my little corner of the world............OH had really bad night so this morning I got emergency appt. with GP..........he's got more antibiotics and painkillers !!!!:T Yes -without having to sit around a wait or kick up a fuss ! Did get home and wonder............if e mail for some reason didn't get through till today.....they'll be another prescription for painkillers on Thursday..................:rotfl:
    Did usual bout of charity shopping............got myself a fleece for £3 and some christmas decorations for 50p.
    At last I got my little robins so made a start on the robins breakfast pots.............fiddly or what :eek: Don't know how many attempts I had at getting the perspex to wedge on top of the birdseed so it didn't spill out...............had to use glue dots in the end, then made a hole for robin and bit of holly, wrapped in cellophane ande bit of curly ribbon with a tag on top............:rotfl:
    Wish OH wouldn't have these ideas without actually doing it first......................lol Oh well, two done...........only another six (I think):eek:
