Greetings Earthlings!

I, Pickle, having been introduced to some of the strange customs of humankind felt that I,(we) would like to commemorate this occasion by passing on to all my faithful followers good wishes for the Christmas holiday season and for the New Year.
A little explanation is in order. I borrowed the 'Santa' hats from our guide and the slogan "Santa is a 'Boro' fan" refers to the Middlesbrough football team in North Yorkshire, affectionately known as the 'Boro'. Note, 'football' (mis-named soccer) where the game is played by kicking the ball, not like the mis-named American game called 'football' where the ball is very rarely kicked. That game, however, is another sad story, better saved for another time. Well, anyway, Merry Christmas!
