“One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”

I’ve officially started Christmas shopping. Admittedly it’s going to be a somewhat low key year (student loans and London rent being not insignificant priorities), but it’s still a lot of fun. Plus the holiday season in London is a feast for the senses so just being out and about is a treat.

On Longacre the other day, for example, I noticed a cheeky seasonal prank that I thought the minion coterie would appreciate.

Qu’est-ce que c’est?

You can’t see it, but Santa there has a full on cotton ball beard!
