Advent Competitions 2014 - Chat

I love that flamingo - I have a lovely Bird of Paradise plant and it would look lovely perched in the compost under the shade of a leaf! Or it would make a lovely cake topper on my wedding cake ....when and if I ever get married! ( I would need to find a blue flamingo to stand beside it though! )

Doing the the advents have made me consider the deeper things in life, such as do I really like sprouts? Yes or No. (It's a tough one, it has to be yes)
Do I have a favourite cracker joke. No! ,
Which one is not one of Santa's renderers? (my head feels numb)

"Santa's renderers" is good. I wonder if Santa's rendered like cement or like Pavarotti's rendering of La Traviata?

If towards the end of the 12 day comps, anyone sees a decent comp on a site that has been a pile of rubbish , can they drop a little note here, I have x off loads today as it's pretty dire. Eg win a hair brush, win false eye lashes, win false teeth holder.....then win a massive hamper of decent stuff.

This is my first year doing advents & I have to say i'm slightly disappointed. They are no where near as good as I thought they'd be & take up so much time it's hard to get anything else done. I've had 2 small Twitter wins the 1st & 2nd day but fingers crossed I get a decent one soon or I might give them up.

Good luck everyone.

A lot of the really good Advents that made it worthwhile last year, haven't run this year.

Maybe it's because Christmas is much less relevant now for consumer spending and a lot of the marketing budget goes into Black Friday and Cyber Monday instead.

Could be due to the rise in serial compers.
