m Fro Ed... the Welcome to the Christmas December edition of The Sentinella. Christmas for many is the happiest and most important time of the year, but many others are not so fortunate.

Christmas is also a holiday that’s tied to religious beliefs and traditions. It’s the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, believed by Christians to be the son of God. People celebrate by being with family, decorating their houses with tinsel, putting up Christmas decorations and usually, a Christmas tree. Gifts are generally given and received and one of the most comforting things is seeing the smiles on children’s faces when they receive their gift — or in some cases, if they are lucky, more than one gift.

At Christmas I always try to promote a charity to which people can give if they are able — and would like — to do so. This year, the expat community of Torre del Mar have come together to promote the ‘Shoe Box Appeal’.

This is to help the many families who, especially this year, will be going without.

There will be so many children in La Axarquia of all ages who will not receive anything this Christmas. Of course adults know it’s not all about the presents, but think of the children — which child do you know, of any age, who doesn’t love a gift at Christmas? It breaks my heart to think there will be some going without.

SO... if you feel you can give a little, grab yourself a shoe box or a Christmas gift bag and put what you can into it. It can be as much or as little as you like. Some examples are: soft toys, dolls, hair bands, hair brushes for the girls, small cars, Lego, a deflated ball and pump for the boys and then the gifts for either sex; gloves, hats, scarves, pencils, pens, pencil cases, books, games, pack of cards etc.... All we ask is for no liquids or food items. The full information on how to wrap your present, how to label it and where to leave it, is on page 95. Please help to make a needy child’s Christmas a magical one — after the year we have all had, I am sure your gift will be appreciated and bring that smile to

Strange News a child’s face on Christmas morning or the celebration of the Three Kings.

If Covid 19 has brought us nothing else but dismal news, it has also done one good thing, I believe. It has definitely bought the expat community together in a much nicer and more caring way. I have witnessed some lovely gestures over the past months and seen some amazing comments on FB too, from people really trying to help each other where they can. So long may that continue, after this crisis finally passes.

On that note, I wish each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous — and above all healthy — 2021.

Whale of a tale A train driver’s life was saved by the tail of a giant whale after his train crashed through the barriers at the end of the track.

The train plunged straight through, and would have ended up in the water below if the artwork hadn’t broken its fall. Nobody else was on the train and the driver was able to escape to safety.

The carriage was left suspended 10 metres above a footpath at De Akkers metro station in Spijkenisse, near Rotterdam.

The sculpture, made of polyester, was placed in the water at the end of the tracks in 2002.

A neighbour said: ‘We woke up in the middle of the night and heard a noise that went for two or three seconds, then I suddenly saw that the tail was occupied.’

It is not yet clear what caused the train to overshoot the track.

Goosey goosey gander, going for a wander A man who adopted two pet geese during lockdown has started taking them to his local pub wearing nappies.

Sven Kirby, 34, is regularly spotted walking the birds, named Norbert and Beep Beep, around the streets of Leeds and the odd trio have now branched out into socialising in their local.

The admin assistant hand-reared the birds from five days old after buying them for £40 each in June. He lets them have free run of the house when he’s at home, and keeps them in a pen in the garden when he’s out.

Sven, who lives on his own, said: ‘I know a goose is a strange pet but it’s something different that I have wanted for a while.

‘I could have got a dog but as I work full-time I didn’t think that was very fair — geese require much less attention.

‘I love the two of them — they’re brilliant characters and great fun to keep as pets.’

The giant exhibition Dewlap Toulouse geese could live for up to 40 years.

Sven said the pair haven’t had any behavioural problems, but they can’t be potty trained so he puts them in specially made goose nappies shipped in from America when they’re inside the house.

Strange News (Continued) Disappearing genie Two men have been arrested after a doctor was conned out of £72,000 for an Aladdin’s lamp.

It was alleged that they conjured up a fake genie to trick their victim, Laeek Khan, into handing over the cash in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Khan said one of the men pretended to be an occultist and made a ‘jinn’ – a supernatural figure – appear from the lamp, local media reported. But when Khan asked if he could touch the genie or take the lamp home, they refused, saying it might cause him harm, the complainant stated.

Eventually they sold the lamp to him, promising it would bring health, wealth and good fortune. Khan stated that he later realised the ‘genie’ had actually just been one of the men in disguise.

Senior police officer Amit Ray said: ‘The men were arrested and remanded in custody ahead of charges being filed.

He added: ‘The men have also cheated other families using the same modus operandi. The total amount of money involved runs into several million rupees.’

Ouija danger A paranormal investigator has spoken of his horror when he found that ouija boards were being sold in Poundland.

Paul Marsters, member of True Paranormal Events UK, said he was ‘gobsmacked’ that such an item was on the shelves, claiming they can release deadly demons if not handled by trained mediums.

He said: ‘Ouija boards are most certainly not a toy and should not be available for anyone to buy — either kids or adults who are not trained in how to use them.

‘If the planchette spells the word “Zeus” it is a demon trying to come through and you should not even say the name, never mind continue to communicate with it.

‘All hell could break loose. Nasty spirits can scratch and attack people and should not be messed with, as people could get seriously hurt.’

Poundland said the product is only available for over-18s but Paul, from Hull, said he did not see any age limit on the product.

Members of the paranormal community have said the boards ‘destroy people’s lives’ and have even claimed that the more ‘sinister’ ones can lead to suicides.

Christmas One-Liners A few giggles for yer‌.

With his North Pole-aroid.

Why is Christmas just like a day at the office?

You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit.

What did Adam say on the day before Christmas?

It's Christmas, Eve.

As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual, "And what would you like for Christmas?"

The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped, "Didn't you get my E-mail?"

What is special about the Christmas alphabet?

It has NO EL. What happens if you eat the Christmas decorations?

You get tinsel-itus!

Why does Santa have 3 gardens?

He likes to ho-ho-ho.

How does Santa Claus take photos?

Why are Christmas trees like people who can't knit?

They both drop their needles!

What do you call a cat on the beach at Christmas?

Sandy Claus!

What do you call a reindeer wearing earmuffs?

Anything you want. He can't hear you!

Nice Gifts Not! What to say about that "special" Christmas gift

6. Gosh. I hope this never catches fire! It is fire season though. There are lots of unexplained fires.

5. If the dog buries it, I'll be furious!

4. I love it, but I fear the jealousy it will inspire.

3. Sadly, tomorrow I enter the Federal Witness Protection Program.

2. To think I got this the year I vowed to give all my gifts to charity.

1."I really don't deserve this."

10. Hey! There's a gift!

9. Well, well, well ...

8. Boy, if I had not recently shot up 4 sizes that would've fit.

7. This is perfect for wearing around the basement.

Papua New Guinea is the world’s most linguistically diverse country, with nearly 850 native languages spoken.

In 1526, Portuguese explorer Jorge de

Meneses became the first European visitor to Papua New Guinea. He named one of the islands ‘ilhas dos Papuas’ or ‘land of fuzzy-haired people’.

Britain, Germany, Australia and Japan all occupied areas of Papua New Guinea until 1975 when the country finally gained full independence.

Papua New Guinea is home to at least 750 tribes. Many tribes who live in the isolated mountainous interior have little contact with one another or the outside world. As such, many live within a non-monetarised economy dependent on localised farming.

Papuans were plausibly the world’s first agriculturalists. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of gardening from up to 9000 years ago.

Some of the world’s most recent cases of cannibalism were reported in Papua New Guinea. During the 1960s in some villages among the Fore tribe, a recently deceased person would be cooked and consumed. It was considered an act of love and grief. As recently as 2012, 29 people were charged with alleged cannibalism in Papua New Guinea.

Liberty Seguros With LIBERTY SEGUROS you can have the home insurance that meets your needs!

occupants to avoid the health issues associated with their usage.

LIBERTY SEGUROS has adapted its Home Insurance plans to provide solutions that best suit your individual requirements.

Understanding that every customer’s needs are unique, it has created additional coverages to allow you to enhance and complement your home insurance cover.

Regardless of the plan you choose, you can now add Optional Packs to your home insurance to ensure your plan is perfectly tailored to you.

And that’s not all! As another example, refrigerated goods (which are not usually covered in the case of tripped fuses) are included in home policies with LIBERTY SEGUROS, offering 150€ towards lost food and medicines. This comes as standard.

For example, if you own a second home and are concerned about being an ideal target for squatters, LIBERTY SEGUROS offers a complete legal defence guaranty, covering up to 6.100€ in legal costs for Illegal Occupation proceedings.

Owning a rental property has additional worries, such as tenant vandalism that can lead to complex and expensive legal proceedings. For this reason, LIBERTY SEGUROS offers a guarantee of up to 3.000€ to cover acts of vandalism by the tenant. This allows landlords peace of mind to enjoy profitable rental incomes without added worries.

LIBERTY SEGUROS also knows how much gardens and terraces mean to homeowners.

For this reason, it offers cover for garden furniture of 12.000€ to help protect treasured outdoor spaces.

Homeowners might have other worries too, such as drip irrigation systems. Again, with LIBERTY SEGUROS policy holders can have cover up to 500€ for burst or broken pipes to help with repairs.

Goods in storage rooms can also be insured up to 3.000€; and jewellery left outside of a safe can be covered up to 10.000€. What’s more, individual jewellery pieces worth up to 6.000€ do not need to be itemised in the policy, and policy holders can increase their money in cash cover at home too.

It’s also worth noting that LIBERTY SEGUROS’s new home appliance repair cover includes 2 services per year up to 300€ – including parts. The maintenance of air-conditioning filters is also covered to include filter cleaning twice a year. In this manner, the units can continue to work just as they should, at the same time as helping

LIBERTY SEGUROS really does have you covered and always has your real needs in mind!

Top Tips Wise words mate!

Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it has gone.

Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the object you wish to view.

Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.

Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at a chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying it in the first place.

Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The morning after, you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.

Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.

Don't buy expensive 'ribbed' condoms, just buy an ordinary one and slip a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.

Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging your feet twice on each stair.

Richard would like to wish all his clients a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Tell Me What You Want, What You Really, Really Want....

It’s interesting that so often when I ask the question, “What do you want to achieve from therapy?” I get a list of what’s not wanted, ie; “I don’t want to feel this way,” “I don’t want to have this reaction any more.” “I wish I didn’t........”. What this does is dwell on the negative.

Consider this. When you decide to buy a new car, you have an idea of what you do want.

You would know what make, colour, size and power you want. You would imagine what it would be like to look at, how it would feel to drive and what it would be like to own. When you know what you want you start looking for ways to make that dream a reality. This is dwelling on the positive - knowing what you want and making it happen.

There are two ways of travelling through life, one as a passenger and the other in the driving seat moving towards your goals.

Do you need help to take stock of what’s wrong and take steps towards making things right?

If you want motivation, support, guidance and encouragement to be the person you deserve to be, then call Kate for a free, confidential consultation.

Coronavirus Causes Currency Chaos Staying up to date with the latest currency news can help you time your transfers effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the month ahead…

Latest currency news Over the last month GBP/EUR has climbed from €1.09 to hit highs of €1.12, while EUR/GBP has drifted from £0.91 to £0.89.

Meanwhile, GBP/USD rallied from $1.28 to $1.32 before easing back to $1.31, while EUR/USD fluctuated between $1.16 and $1.18.

What’s been happening?

US election drama triggered currency movement at the start of November, with the US dollar ultimately softening following confirmation of Joe Biden’s victory.

News of a coronavirus vaccine also drove people away from the safe-haven US dollar.

However, the euro’s potential for gains was capped by concerns over record surges of coronavirus cases throughout Europe and the potential impact on the Eurozone’s economy.

Sterling has, so far, spent November strengthening amid rising hopes that a Brexit trade agreement will be reached in the nick of time.

What do you need to look out for?

Over the next month the ongoing coronavirus crisis will continue dominating market sentiment. While vaccine hopes have improved risk appetite in recent weeks, if cases continue rising and the prospect of prolonged lockdowns increases investors are likely to turn away from currencies like the pound and euro and seek the safety of the US dollar.

Brexit will also be a major motivating factor behind GBP/EUR movement in the month ahead as the UK’s transition period draws to an end. The pound could jump if a deal is finally struck.

At Currencies Direct we’re here to talk currency whenever you need us, so get in touch if you want to know more about the latest news or how it could impact your currency transfers.

Since 1996 we’ve helped more than 325,000 customers with their currency transfers, just pop into your local Currencies Direct branch or give us a call to find out more. See main advert below

A Beautifully Written Poem About Torrox Good old Torrox I live in good old Torrox by the sea Or Torrox Costa as it’s known to be, Blue skies, sunshine big wide beach, Best climate in Europe it likes to preach.

Into the skies the mountains soar, From the sea waves pound and roar, Clean fresh air and quality of light, Makes nature’s beauty shine so bright.

Exotic plants and shrubs galore, Burst forth their colours along the shore, Floral blooms release heady scents, Pleasure pure from heaven sent.

Along the Paseo I love to walk, In cafes and bars folks sit and talk, Happiness and joy much abounds, Enjoying the paradise they have found.

Evening sunsets are simply stunning, Skylight gazers with cameras come running,

Laguna Beach

Golden rays light up the clouds, Colours of the rainbow scream aloud.

The setting sun turns the sea to silver, Blazing glows make the senses shiver, The night time sky displays vivid colour, Like an artist’s dream there to discover.

Torrox offers variety in where to reside, The campo, the pueblo or the shore side, For me I chose famed Torrox Park, Where all the dogs seem to love to bark.

When walking, relaxing, enjoying a drink, The variety of languages makes you think, That the pleasures of Torrox know no bounds, As many European races have found.

Along the Costas are resorts aplenty, Their charms and beauty offer much to envy, I have been there, seen them in their prime, But give me good old Torrox every time.

as a private dwelling is one which is never used by the owners or one that is available for rent but is not actually rented out.

When people with no legal right to enter a private dwelling have squatted or occupied a property, the crime of illegal occupation has been committed in accordance with Article 202 of the Criminal Code. In these cases, once the denuncia – private criminal allegation – has been made the police can enter the property, detain the occupiers and restore the property to the legitimate owners.

If the owners cannot immediately present evidence of their ownership and occupation, even if only occasional occupation, then the occupiers or squatters can seek to show that it is their morada or private dwelling. This can present a real problem for the owners of the legal title, as the only way to seek to recover the property is before the Court, as only a Judge can then decide if there should be an eviction.

Women’s Revenge Observations of men and their uses (or not!)

1. Men are like Bananas. The older they get, the less firm they are.

2. Men are like the weather. Nothing can be done to change them.

3. Men are like Blenders. You need one, but you're not quite sure why.

4. Men are like Chocolate Bars. Sweet, smooth, and they usually head right for your hips.

5. Men are like Commercials. You can't believe a word they say.

6. Men are like Department Stores. Their clothes are always 1/2 off!

7. Men are like Government Bonds. They take soooooooo long to mature.

8. Men are like Mascara. They usually run at

the first sign of emotion.

9. Men are like Popcorn. They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

10. Men are like Snowstorms. You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.

Christmas Joke The president of the Festive Foods Corporation was included in a papal audience and he took the opportunity of making a business proposition to the Pope; that was if he could arrange for the Lord's Prayer to be changed from "Give us this day our daily bread" to "Give us this day our daily turkey" throughout the whole of Advent and Christmas. In exchange, the FFC would give £20 million to Catholic charities.

The Pope declined his offer.

A few weeks later the man called the Pope and upped the offer to £50 million; but once again it was turned down.

A few weeks before the beginning of Advent the man came back to the Pope with an astonishing offer of £100 million. The Pope considered all the good works that could be done with such a large amount of money and decided to go ahead.

The next day he called a special meeting of the Cardinals to let them know about the situation.

"Well" said the Pope. "I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we are to receive £100 million. The bad news is that we have lost the Wonderloaf account."

Foreign Ads Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as, "It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."

The power of advertising - Not!!

Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.

When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the beautiful baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since most people can't read English.

When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you".

Instead, the company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant"...

Specials: Now is your chance to have your ears pierced and get an extra pair to take home, too.

An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa).

In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into "Schweppes Toilet Water."

Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave," in Chinese.

Random Jokes :) A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath and stopped centimetres from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the elderly driver turned and said 'Look son, don't ever do that again, you scared the daylights out of me!'

The passenger apologised and said, 'I didn't realise that a little tap would scare you so much.'

The driver replied, 'Sorry, it's not really your fault.

I just retired and today is my first day as a cab driver...I've been driving a hearse for the last 45 years.'

'Good God!' she replied, ‘Has it come to this? I suppose you'd better give me twenty Catholic and twenty Presbyterian.’

Casa Arts - A Rural Hotel & Restaurant in Alcaucin This month, I was invited to lunch in a beautifully located hotel and restaurant just on the edge of the stunning Sierra Tejeda park in Alcaucin, and I have to say it was an amazing culinary experience catered for by warm hosts.

Owners Kris, Pascale and their daughters Evelien and Hanne, originally from Belgium, bought their Alcaucin dream property in June 2019 to open Casa Arts at the end of July 2020. The name ‘Casa Arts’ comes from Kris’ surname and with ‘Arts’ having a meaning in many different languages, it has become a great talking point.

The hotel & restaurant has so much to offer.

For starters, the location and the facilities are absolutely fabulous. The premises have an authentic character and fit naturally into the wonderful scenery.

The restaurant – which also welcomes non-hotel residents – caters for different diets, including meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. The hosts are particularly proud of their home-made food, prepared with minimally processed ingredients, and their vegan dishes, which are hard to find in this area.

The 3-course menu comes at only 15€ per person. They offer theme menu’s including Meaty Monday, Travel Tuesday - which are worldwide dishes -, Tagliatelle Thursday and Sunday Brunch. Other days, they offer a choice of meals. Opening hours can be found on their website.

The hotel has eight spacious rooms, all with

separate balconies providing mountain views, and one apartment. The bathrooms are completely renovated. A shared room for two people costs 75€ per night and for one person 68€. The self-contained apartment with terrace area costs 78€ per night.

Continental breakfast includes home-made buns, pastries, and so much more and comes for an additional 10€ per person. You can also request a cooked breakfast. There is a darts board, table tennis and a pool table for further entertainment.

If you want to be active, you can join the weekly hikes with their group Active Alcaucin.

Or you can jump on your bike, take a dive in the swimming pool, join a yoga class or work on your shape in the gym.

Casa Arts is the perfect getaway, and with Christmas and New Year just around the corner, why not treat yourself to a lovely Christmas or New Year celebration with family or friends and enjoy the tranquility of Alcaucin? You can enjoy a 5-course Christmas or New Year menu including a glass of Cava for only 30-35€ per person. The full menu can be seen on their facebook page and website. Nobody likes to be the designated driver, even more so on Christmas or New Year’s Day, so why not book yourself a room too? Eat, drink and be merry with the wonderful surroundings of the National Park, Alcaucin. Come the evening, get comfy on the terrace, relax and enjoy the fresh air and star gaze.

Put Funds In Your Pension Plan For those who are tax residents in Spain, it is now the moment (before the end of year 2020) to put funds in your pension plans, to enjoy the tax deductions.

Banks have already launched the year-end trade offensive, to raise assets in their pension plans by taking advantage of the claim of tax deductions, which the government wants to cut. The Government plans to cut the deduction, so it is worth taking advantage of this, to save money up to the last moment possible.

Pension plans have a deduction to the savings contributed to plans with a maximum of 8,000 euros in the year or 30% of the tax base on the income statement. This is the great advantage over other collective investment institutions (IICs) such as investment funds, which are more liquid.

Healthy Food with Art Gallery

The Government plans a cut that is already included in the 2021 State General Budgets, as acknowledged by María Jesús Montero, Minister of Finance and Spokesperson for the Executive. The 'change' could reduce the maximum figure from 8,000 to 2,000 euros.

Should you wish to save taxes in your annual income tax returns for year 2020 (to be filed in May-June 2021) you must put funds in your pension funds before end of the year.

Should you need any tax advice or assistance with any tax issue, please do not hesitate to contact Axarquia Solicitors.

& t i Fru Facts er Veg uliflow Ca

Cauliflower belongs to the plant species called Brassica oleracea.

Cauliflower is actually the flower buds of the plant.

Cauliflower is being used more often these days as an alternative to rice and a topping for pizza.

Of the 100 grams of cauliflower in one serving, 92 grams are water. That means this veggie can help keep you hydrated.

Cauliflower is also a great source of fibre.

Cauliflower has a group of substances known as glucosinolates. As you chew and digest it, these substances are broken down into compounds that may help prevent cancer, they help protect cells from damage and have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial effects.

As for vitamins and nutrients, one serving of cauliflower has: 100% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C. Cauliflower may aid in weight loss. It is a low-carb alternative to grains and legumes. It is very easy to add to your diet.

Cauliflower Cheese Recipe 1 medium cauliflower (approximately 1lb./450g) 2 oz./55g butter 2 oz./55g all-purpose flour Optional: 1 tsp. mustard powder 1 pinch salt (to taste) 2 cups/460 ml milk 2 oz./55g cheddar cheese (or similar, grated, plus extra for sprinkling on top) Freshly ground pepper (to taste) Method 1.Preheat the oven to 395 F/200 C/Gas 7.

Remove the green outer leaves from the cauliflower, cut a cross in the bottom of the stem, and steam whole over a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes.

2. Remove the cauliflower from the heat and leave to cool. The cauliflower should not be cooked thoroughly.

3. Place the butter and flour into a large saucepan.mOver a low heat stir the butter and flour until the butter has melted and the flour is incorporated.

4. Add the salt and mustard powder, continue stirring for two minutes. Turn the heat up to medium and add the milk in one go.

5. Whisk furiously until a smooth sauce is formed. Continue stirring until the sauce is thickened and glossy - about 5 minutes. If the sauce is very thick, add a little more milk; the sauce should be thick but still a little on the runny side. Add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.

6. Break the cauliflower into florets. Place them in a greased baking dish large enough to hold all the florets in one layer. Pour the thickened cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring all the florets are covered. Sprinkle with grated cheese and black pepper.

7. Bake in the oven until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown, approximately 30 minutes.

According to the Guinness world records, the tallest Christmas tree ever cut was a 221-foot Douglas fir that was displayed in 1950 at the Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle, Washington.

The first decorated Christmas tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510.

Christmas wasn’t declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.

Christmas trees usually grow for about 15 years before they are sold The Germans made the first artificial Christmas trees out of dyed goose feathers.

Approximately 100,000 people are employed full or part-time in the Christmas tree industry.

All the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas would equal 364 gifts Since 1947, the tree in London’s Trafalgar Square has been a gift each year from the

It is estimated that the single “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin is the best selling single of all time, with over 100 million sales worldwide.

Year: (2020) Running time: 1h 37min Written/directed by: Zoe Lister-Jones Starring: David Duchovny, Lovie Simone, Cailee Spaeny, Michelle Monaghan, Zoey Luna, Zoe Lister-Jones When her mother Helen (Michelle Monaghan) decides to move in with her self-help guru boyfriend (David Duchovny), loner teenager Lily (Cailee Spaeny) has her life uprooted. Yet she also finds a new group of friends in an eclectic coven of witches, and together they have fun flexing their powers.

That is, until dark events occur… unfortunately, this is another example of a “sequel” not matching up to the original. In looking to update the basic concept of 1996’s The Craft, actor-turned-writer-director Zoe Lister-Jones looks to invoke the same spirit,

but sadly, only infrequently channels the power. The essentials remain: like Robin Tunney’s Sarah, Cailee Spaeny’s Lily is forced to adapt to a change in life circumstances and ends up bonding with a coven of witches after a rough first day at her new school (marked in Lily’s case by menstruation and mockery). It’s all Wicca fun until their dabbling in the dark arts — well, more dusk arts, since they rarely dive into truly dangerous territory — results in changes both positive and negative.

And although there are some fun moments of witchcraft on display, with time-stopping sequences, psychokinetic shoving and flames springing from fingertips to sear trolling graffiti from a locker, a more grounded approach means that the magic doesn’t always measure up. Maybe there were budgetary constraints?

As before, there are mean girls and bully boys, and subtexts aplenty, but tantalising threads of ideas suggested earlier in the narrative are left dangling as the film appears to end before the story has truly been told.

Despite the care and attention in the early stages, this Craft is less satisfying than the ’96 brew. Star Rating **/*****

Funny Christmas Sayings We wish you a Merry Christmas

Christmas!

Christmas has been cancelled! And it’s your fault because I told Santa you had been good and he died laughing!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house everyone was on their phone

Dear Santa, I’m writing to tell you I’ve been naughty and it was worth it!

The only present you can gift Jesus during his birthday is good behavior. you can try to be good today then go back to normal after Christmas.

Hope you did not forget it’s Christmas. It always comes around each time this year.

His name is Clause. Santa Clause. The Force is with him. And he’ll be back!

I mistakenly wrapped your Christmas present in paper that says “Happy Birthday”. So I added wording “to Jesus” on it. Merry

The sellers state on Facebook Sir David believes he “wouldn’t be here” if not for the CBD supplement.

They also list fake reviews from stars including Dame Helen Mirren, Rowan Atkinson and Ed Sheeran.

Sheeran’s false quote reads: “The advances David has made in the CBD industry are remarkable.”

Dame Judi is supposed to have said: “David gave me a sample of Nutrax oil and the product is a miracle worker. It only took a few days for me to notice the difference.”

Sir David, 94, was “appalled” after being alerted to the advert for “David Attenborough CBD Oil” by a fan.

His spokesman said: “These are not genuine endorsements and Sir David has had no involvement whatsoever with these products.

“The companies do not have permission to use Sir David’s name or image.”

Bye bye Donald Melania Trump is apparently counting down the minutes until her divorce from Donald Trump after their 15-year "transactional marriage", it's claimed.

Ex-aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed the couple's marriage was over, saying: "Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce.

"If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he's in office, he would find a way to punish her."

She waited five months before moving from New York to Washington, allegedly because the couple's son Barron "needed to finish school".

But former aide Stephanie Wolkoff has now claimed Melania was negotiating a post-nuptial agreement to give Barron an equal share of Trump's fortune, reports the MailOnline.

Wolkoff also claims Trump and Melania had separate bedrooms during their time in the White House and said their marriage was "transactional".

Melania has been accused of pulling her hand from her husband on a number of occasions during Trump's public appearances as president.

His previous marriages have also often been seen as turbulent, with a reputation tied to a "playboy" image in the past as well as rumoured affairs.

C el e Newbrity s

Home alone Comedian and TV presenter Vernon Kay went into voluntary solitary isolation prior to appearing on the new I’m A Celebrity TV show.

Because of the pandemic, this year’s show is being filmed in a Welsh castle, and prior to entering it, the entire cast had been asked to self-isolate in separate locations for two weeks before heading to the ITV set.

Although some contestants isolated with their loved ones, Vernon's wife, Tess Daly, and their two daughters Phoebe and Amber did not join the television presenter as he stayed in a luxury farmhouse.

The 49-year-old shared an update on his Instagram page, giving fans a tour of the lavish property.

Kay recorded himself walking around the sprawling property.

"I've been fortunate enough to stay in this place,” he said. “It's a beautiful farm house in Anglesey, and I’m very much looking forward to the challenges ahead on the show.”

Twitter trolling Johnny Depp's fans have launched a Twitter war on Amber Heard after he lost his libel battle.

Amber, 34, has been the target of online abuse since Depp, 57, lost his libel case against The Sun over an article calling him a "wife beater".

One fan tweeted: "Now that the election is over, can we talk about how Amber Heard is evil and Johnny Depp was the real victim of cancel culture."

Referring to Amber's late mother Paige Parsons, who died earlier this year, another Depp fan said: "If your mother could see what you do she'd be glad to die."

It's claimed Amber has struggled to deal with all the abuse.

A source said: "It is just so gross and it has taken its toll in a way you wouldn't believe."

The Sun had published an article alleging he had abused Amber during their marriage, a claim he denied, saying that in fact Amber was the violent one during their relationship.

She subsequently denied that and the High Court found her story to be “substantially true.”

Drinks: Gin Is In Gin is an extremely popular alcoholic beverage. This flavoured white spirit utilises barley, corn or rye in its distillation and dates from the Middle Ages. The base flavour comes from juniper berries.

Different styles of gin are available today, including flavoured variations. Gin cocktails are a regular choice, for numerous ‘devotees’ and the world-renowned ‘Gin & Tonic’ is always a favourite, with many.

Highclere Castle is located approx 5 miles south of Newbury, Hampshire and is home to the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon. A lot

of very interesting history of this property and grounds is well-documented. Highclere Castle and the Estate have been used, both internally and externally, for a good number of films and TV productions and known around the world as the fictional setting for the hugely popular production of Downton Abbey. The Estate is very impressive indeed. The Carnarvon family have resided at Highclere Castle since 1679. Royal guests, plus statesmen, famous musicians and celebrities, are all amongst numerous visitors who have been welcomed to this exceptional property and location.

Highclere Castle Gin (Alc. 43.5% Vol.) is multi award-winning and is produced from one of the oldest copper gin stills, dating back to the 19th century, in England’s oldest gin distillery. Very carefully, botanicals, grown on the Highclere Estate, were selected and then after many, many weeks and months of experimenting, finally the selections were chosen for the recipe.

The botanicals include essential oils and give Highclere Gin its outstanding, unique, smooth and elegant flavour. Juniper, lavender, coriander, lime flower, citrus peels, angelica root, cassia bark, green cardamom, liquorice root and peppercorns, plus Highclere oats are all included to produce the exquisite production that is Highclere Castle Gin. A phrase I have never used before is, “Try it, to believe it!” On its Own, with Ice, Gin & Tonic, Classic Martini, Negroni, White Lady, or whatever a favourite choice is, I found this gin most certainly did not disappoint – the prestigious awards that keep coming, are testament to that!

) : a h a Jokes h A young blonde Portsmouth girl, down on her luck, decided to end it all one night by casting herself into the cold, dark waters off Gunwharf Quay.

As she stood on the edge, pondering the infinite, a young sailor noticed her as he strolled by.

‘You’re not thinking of jumping, are you babes?’ he asked.

‘Yes I am’ replied the sobbing girl.

Putting his arm around her, the kind sailor coaxed her back from the edge.

‘Look, nothing’s worth that. I’ll tell you what, I’m sailing off for Australia tomorrow. Why don’t you stow away on board and start a new life over there. I’ll set you up in one of the lifeboats on the deck, bring you food and water every night and I’ll look after you if you look after me - if you know what I mean. You just have to keep very quiet so that you won’t be found’.

The girl, having no better prospects, agreed, and the sailor sneaked her on board that very night.

For the next 3 weeks the sailor came to her lifeboat every night, bringing food and water, and making love to her until dawn.

Then, during the fourth week, the captain was performing a routine inspection of the ship and its lifeboats. He peeled back the cover to find the startled blonde and demanded an explanation.

The girl came clean, ‘I’ve stowed away to get to Australia. One of the sailors is helping me out. He set me up in here and brings me food and water every night and he’s screwing me.’

The captain stared at her for a moment before he replied, ‘He certainly is love. This is the Isle of Wight Ferry‘.

------------------------------------------------------------While in China, an American man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time.

A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his willy covered with bright green and purple spots.

Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.

The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says: 'I've got bad news for you, you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it.'

The man looks a little perplexed and says 'Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.' The doctor answers: 'I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your willy.'

The man screams in horror, 'Absolutely not! I want a second opinion.'

The doctor replies: 'Well, it's your choice. Go ahead if you want, but surgery is your only choice.'

The next day the man seeks out a Chinese doctor figuring that he'll know more about the disease.

The Chinese doctor examines his willy and proclaims: 'Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Velly rare disease.'

The guy says to the doctor: 'Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my willy!'

The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs: 'Stupid Amelican docta, always want to opelate. Make more money that way. No need to opelate!'

'Oh, Thank God!' the man replies.

'Yes,' says the Chinese doctor, 'You no worry!

Wait two weeks. Faw off by itself.

------------------------------------------------------------An Essex girl walks into the local dry cleaners. She places a garment on the counter.

'I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to pick up my dress.' she says.

'Come again?' says the clerk, cupping his ear.

'No' she replies. 'It's mayonnaise.'

Jokes h a ha An Essex girl goes to the council to register for child benefit.

'How many children?' asks the council worker.

'10' replies the Essex girl.

'10?' says the council worker. 'What are their names?'

'Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne.'

'Doesn't that get confusing?'

'Naah...' says the Essex girl 'Its great because if they are out playing in the street I just have to shout Wayne, yer dinner’s ready or Wayne go to bed now and they all do it...'

'What if you want to speak to one individually?' says the perturbed council worker.

'That's easy,' says the Essex girl... 'I just use their surnames.'

------------------------------------------------------------An Essex girl is involved in a nasty car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on site.

Medic: 'It's OK I'm a paramedic and I'm going to ask you some questions?'

Girl: 'OK' Medic: 'What's your name?'

Girl: ' Sharon .'

Medic: 'OK Sharon, is this your car?'

Sharon: 'Yes.' Medic: 'Where are you bleeding from?'

Sharon: 'Romford, mate.'

------------------------------------------------------------An old man goes into a chemist to buy some Viagra.

'Can I have 6 tablets, cut in quarters?'

'I can cut them for you' said the chemist 'but a quarter tablet will not give you a full erection.'

'I am 96' said the old man. 'I don't want an erection. I just want it sticking out far enough so I don't pee on my slippers.'

------------------------------------------------------------One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie.

'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.'

So he tied her up and went golfing.

------------------------------------------------------------A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, ‘I hate to

ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.’

'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.

‘We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the father says. 'We're sick of each other and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.'

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.

'Like hell they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this,' She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father, 'You are NOT getting divorced.

Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?' and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay,' he says. ‘They're coming for Christmas - and they're paying their own way.'

------------------------------------------------------------A man goes to the doctors feeling a little ill.

The doctor checks him over and says, 'Sorry, I have some bad news, you have Yellow 24, a really nasty virus. It's called Yellow 24 because it turns your blood yellow and you usually only have 24 hours to live. There's no known cure so just go home and enjoy your final precious moments on earth.'

So he trudges home to his wife and breaks the news. Distraught, she asks him to go to the bingo with her that evening as he's never been there with her before. They arrive at the bingo and with his first card he gets four corners,a line and the full house and wins £2,000. Then the National Game comes up and he wins that too getting £380,000.

The bingo caller gets him up on stage and says, 'Son, I've been here 20 years and I've never seen anyone win four corners, a line, the full house and the National game on the same card. You must be the luckiest man on Earth!'

'Lucky?' he screamed. 'Lucky? I'll have you know I've got Yellow 24.'

'F*** me,' says the bingo caller. 'You've won the raffle as well!!’
