The 10th door of our Meery Christmas Advent Calendar yields an adult indulgence during the festive season: Christmas booze! Now, I am easily pleased, so beer tends to be all I require, but in the rundown to the big day, various shops will start to sell Christmas-themed alcoholic beverages, some of which intrigue, whilst others […]
The Meery Christmas Calendar’s ninth day is going to make you hungry! The Christmas Dinner is one of Christmas Day’s great traditions, and a lot of planning goes into executing a wonderful occasion. Everyone’s idea of this is a little different, but there some elements that filter across virtually every Christmas-celebrating UK household, and I […]
The eighth day of the Meery Christmas Calendar reveals an activity that is unavoidable, but one which has also transformed in recent years: Christmas shopping! It was once the subject of many a joke that whilst women were comfortably prepared (having bought presents well in advance), men would often wait until 4.55pm on Christmas Eve […]
It’s day seven, it’s morning, and we’re rushing to open up door number seven on the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar! Will it be something we love? Uh oh. It is time to perform a duty that is completely required, but also rather despised, at least by me. It is time to wrap the gifts! I […]
Let’s sneak a peek behind door number six of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar. What awaits us? It’s Christmas Cards! Now, this meerkat is not especially given to writing out Christmas cards, though I do tend to. It is, like one or two other elements of Christmas, quite laborious to me, though I do understand […]
The panto season is the topic for the fifth door on our Meery Christmas Advent Calendar! Pantomimes are great fun for all ages. They are often based around classic fairy tales, such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella. Puss in Boots is another popular one, along Jack and the Beanstalk, among many others. There […]
On day four of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar, we reveal the virtually obligatory Christmas Party! Now, many a workplace will arrange a party at Christmas, albeit the where and when is heavily dependent upon the type of business, and the size of the business. Where I currently work, we are a small team, and […]
On day three of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar, a Christmas Pudding is revealed, but what exactly is Christmas Pudding? Simply put, it’s a stodgy, sweet, sticky combination of treacle, suet, dried fruits, and potentially wine or even milk, which is prepared by mixing it all together with breadcrumbs (and older recipes might include eggs), […]
We peel back the door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar… and today, it’s decorations! Now, I would say I have something of a love/hate relationship with decorations. I love to look at them. The streamers, the lights, the tree, in their colours of gold, green, red, purple, blue, and more… they are gorgeous to […]
It’s the 1st of December, and the first door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar is… Christmas music! By now, Christmas tunes having been blaring out for some time, but I resist putting them on my playlist until the 1st of December, because to this meerkat, Christmas starts in December, and not a moment before. […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
