I quite like the idea of growing strawberries in the greenhouse. Fewer slugs, there will still be some in my case, not to mention better 'weather'. Have got some small strawberry plants in pots & a large un-used terracotta strawberry pot to use........ My Alpines never make it into the house either!
Roald Dahl had a writing hut in his garden - seem to remember Monty Don creating something similar - but as far as I'm aware Mr Dahl did actually write things when he was in his little hut! Maybe Gary is secretly working on a novel.
Hadn't thought of a comic for the stockings - thanks for the idea Bjay!
You can get Mad magazines and albums at Amazon. They have a lot of them. You can also look inside them on Amazon. They actually looked a bit disappointing, and not as I remember them.
Remember that recent cartoon about the Mayan calendar "this will freak someone out". You can also get books of cartoons drawn by that person. Was that Gary Larson. His stuff is very similar. His themes are more up to date, rather than old 60s themes which Mad tends to feature.

I'm going to buy my no2 son a beano for his christmas stocking. Can't think of anything else. In fact at moment it is his only pressie
The comic, or the yearly Album Bjay?
That's a comic for children.
I prefer serious thought-provoking literature, exemplified by the writings of Alfred E Neuman...
Oh the Beano.....

It's best to grow some strawberries inside, and some outside. The ones inside come into fruit a few weeks earlier.
Just a comic. Mad looks a good idea. Can you still get it?
Fire's lit, dog's snoring in front of it. When he gets too hot he just turn s his bum to the fire!!
I hope the dog doesn't do a trump
