Lovely useful Christmas links

Getting home
For those who find the motorway network a bit confusing this motorway map should simplify things. Then there is Chris’s British Road Directory, which Farli has reminded me about.

Wrapping paper
Make wrapping paper using Flickr images. Fun, but I don’t think my printer ink will stretch that far. Found via Russell Davies.

Games
If you have a full house at Christmas and need to entertain everyone Tesco have some games you can play. If those are a bit conventional you could try these victorian parlour games.

Christmas Day service
The Christmas Day service on BBC one comes from St Mary’s church Ealing, home of the creative folks who go by the name of ‘Grace’. Jenny Baker will be preaching. [Update: Just to make it clear (as Jenny has mentioned in the comments) that this will be a traditional service rather than a creative Grace-type one.]

Christmas internet searches
Christmas trees are the most popular searched-for Christmas thing, according to this site. The next are ‘free’, ‘cards’ and ‘songs’. One can only assume that what people are really looking for are ‘Free songs about Christmas Cards and Trees’.

Christmas carols
ChristmasCarolMusic.org – thanks to Rebranded and Rhys. “It has sheet music, lyrics, midi things, 4 part sheet music even, sheet music for instruments that do things in funny keys – everything. And it’s all free. How cool.”

    Thank you for the mention, but just to say don’t expect anything particularly creative! Grace haven’t been involved in planning the service so it will all be quite traditional.

    re: searching for trees – maybe they were searching for the recipe to put in the water of the tree – to keep it alive and less of a fire hazard – that is what we were doing.
