Christmas Lights


   And so it begins not that it hasn't been around for several weeks, nay months! As we enter December the first Sunday marks the start of Advent and with Ilkeston's Christmas lights being switched on last Friday evening, the build up to Christmas is well and truly under way.

   On Friday we were treated to a visit by not one but two Santas. Whilst one appeared on the Town Hall balcony and then came down to distribute sweets to the children, another similar figure clad in red and white sat in a Grotto (left) to greet another queue of juveniles. I suppose with the additional work at this time of year the real Santa has to spread the load and it no doubt reduces the jobless total. I wonder if he can claim all the additional suits as a business expense and just where does he pay his taxes? He'll have the Chancellor after him soon.

   You know sometimes I write a load of rubbish here - will have to give it some serious thought come the New Year. Suggestions?
