Santa's subliminal messages

Can you spot Rudolph?

OK - today I was sure somebody was messing with my head.

First, I'm walking to work when I notice holly trees everywhere. Now, I've taken this route over a 100 times and have no idea where they've suddenly come from - or what I've been looking at instead.

I'm not a 'tree' person and in my ignorance, I've always presumed holly was a winter thing. So, you can imagine my confusion when all of a sudden I'm feeling Christmassy in the middle of summer.

Of course, later I discover that nature was in fact correct and holly trees do indeed bloom in June - so, given how silly I am anyway, you can imagine my surprise when I then notice a reindeer sitting in the tree opposite where I work.

Stopping in my tracks, I quickly snapped him before he had time to disappear into my imagination. Thankfully, when I viewed the picture he was still there and I was pleased to know I hadn't gone mad.

Is Santa sending me subliminal messages? Perhaps I should be on my best behaviour just in case!
