Post by: Wizzo on December 26, 2011, 10:53:32 AM

The GPW Advent is finally over for another year and although many of you thought it was an impossible task I'm pleased to say that we have a winner!

Glad I'm in good company (those of us not able to figure it out).  Congrats JuGirl!!  Nice extra Christmas present, I'm sure.

Mince pies...who the heck knows what a mince pie even is???  Yeeesh, bloody Brits and their silly Christmas sayings.  Who ever said Santa loves them??  Never heard that in my lifetime.  Had Santa Claus fine, but the rest was greek to me...should you really love food?  Better one 'likes' food.  grrrr
