One of my treasures from Santa!

I seem to have Santa well trained to include some beer in my stocking pillowcase. He excelled this Christmas with these local brews - can't beat a local one. Last year one of the beers he gave me was called "Naughty Elf" and it certainly had a kick to it - I think these will be a bit gentler on the brain. I'm not too sure about the "Headmaster's Sermon" though...! ;-))

The extra: Granddog looking very hopeful while I was dissecting the remains of yesterday's turkey - the delicious smell must have been tantalising but she did enjoy the odd bit which escaped onto the floor. It was almost her dinner time which probably made it worse - so I fed her as soon as I'd finished!
