Blip Advent Calendar - Day 11!

The scene behind window number 11 does jot reflect the full on festive day that I have had...

Christmas Jumper Day. 

Serving Christmas dinner to my class day.

Reindeer Run in aid of Overgate Hospice day. 

However, my photo shows an absolutely enormous blow up Grinch, next to a snow globe. The Grinch is deemed as an ill natured character with a heart "two sizes too small" who seems to enjoy ruining the pleasure of others. As you'd expect, such a character doesn't like the festive spirit!! 

Today's quote reflects the idea that Christmas spirit isn't something for a certain time of year but for much longer than that. 
In the words of Calvin Coolidge...
"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plentiful in mercy is to have the real spirit of Christmas."
