Christmas in our house starts to move up a notch this weekend, as we're all off to the Netherland's to see the arrival of SinterKlaas in Amsterdam on Sunday.
To heighten the spirits this Friday is also St. Martins Day her in Germany which heralds the start of Karnivaal so there's a big parade in town and the kids will be trick-or-treating Then we kind of go quiet for a week as the following weekend they're going to start building the Kristkindmarkt which opens on the 22nd which means I'm going to be playing Christmas Music nightly with the town band from then until Dec 24th |

The show also stars Morgana Robinson (Morgana Robinson’s The Agency) and Mike Wozniak (Man Down)"

Can I submit my entries for the cover competition:
For the traditional one: Santa relaxing in an armchair in front of a roaring fire with a snowy scene outside the window. For the programme one, Olaf the snowman out of Frozen in a snowy scene. As for my opinion as to who should start next year's thread I don't think we need one, as the conversations tend to go on all year round I think this thread should just continue subject to size limitations (if there are any). If whoever started this year's thread deleted the "2016" from the title we could carry on forever. |

I am sure there will be some commemoration of those that have died this year, at some point over the Christmas schedules. |

I know the TV magazines come out on the 3rd of December but when does Digi Guide and the BBC Media Centre website start putting them on?.

No sign of Love Actually, The Polar Express or Elf in the schedules yet. ITV must have lost the rights because I'm sure they've usually been on by now.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wa...stamp-12140742 Not seen a good stamp design for years. They would make a great design for tv magazine cover too. |

Any channel can show It's a Wonderful Life as it was never copyrighted.
