    I think I had a car. It might have been a tractor. Hubby had a squirrel & the kitten had a picture of a house. The advent tree hanging was a tiny stocking.

    Ds had a chocolate carol singer and the picture in his Dr Who one was of the 9th Doctor. Mine had a picture of two bears holding mistletoe. :)

    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I can't remember what I got this morning, lol! hey it was only 6am.

    I've got a traditional one which is just pictures. As I'm 42 I can have chocolate any time I wish you see. :D

    I'm thinking it was a robin. I will make more effort tomorrow.
