Re: Christmas Time & Hampers
Shop bought hampers look lovely, and I bet the Harrods one was very extravagant, but most hampers have stuff in them nobody really eats, so make your own if you want to give someone a hamper as a gift.
Having said that....if I was sent a luxury one I would be sure to enjoy it.

Lidls are excellent, and one would imagine that the far right fraggles on here would appreciate ze German touch.

Re: Christmas Time & Hampers
And sing
1. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hoch heilige Paar.
Holder Knab' im lockigen Haar,
|: Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh!
2. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'.
|: Jesus in deiner Geburt!
3. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Die der Welt Heil gebracht,
Aus des Himmels goldenen Höhn,
Uns der Gnaden Fülle läßt sehn,
|: Jesum in Menschengestalt!
4. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Wo sich heut alle Macht
Väterlicher Liebe ergoß,
Und als Bruder huldvoll umschloß
|: Jesus die Völker der Welt!
5. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Lange schon uns bedacht,
Als der Herr vom Grimme befreit
In der Väter urgrauer Zeit
|: Aller Welt Schonung verhieß!
6. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Alleluja,
Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah:
|: "Jesus der Retter ist da!"

Ah, yes.
Takes me back to those German classes at high school..
Stille Nacht...
Yep..
Definitely sounds a lot better -- more flowing and rhythmic -- in the original native German.

I used to be able to sing "Stille Nacht" all the way through.
Oh sorry, hampers....yeah shit.
Unless they're full of whisky, salty snacks and special tobacco don't bother.

I like a good traditional German Yuletide, put the decorations up on the 6th, I've already seen one home daubed in bright lights, far too early IMO!

Not if you make them up yourself....they include only what you know will be useful, and they cost a fraction of the price.
