It's that time of year again when PC Screens start flashing with Christmas lights, Reindeer sing to us, Santa does moonies and we all dig out our Christmas Funnies. Having recently spent some time with our legal department I still like the old legally approved Season's Greeting:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes for a socially responsible, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all, together with a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Britain great, (not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than any other country), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms.
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
And then there are all the Christmas Smilies, here are a couple to get you going - all the rest will appear on the site shortly:
And finally the videos and things. I think my all time favourite is still the singing Reindeer.
Enjoy - and let us know your favourites. Better still, send 'em in. If we like them, they'll appear on
Friday Fun very soon.
Labels: animations, games, videos
Every day a few more of these smilies arrive in my inbox. They're not really smilies any more, they are animations on almost every subject you can think of. I often wonder where they all come from. Someone must be out there somewhere thinking to themselves .... I must make an animated gif of a bloke catching a fly with his tongue. today!
