Challenge 985: What's on TV this Christmas?
This pub in Hilborough, Norfolk, has something of a sense of humour: the blackboard has a small SONY badge at the bottom. But it doesn't have a great deal of festive spirit; a string of weak fairy lights and some half-hearted decorations don’t really do the job. Can you give this Christmas scene some magical sparkle? High res is here. 
NOTE: You've got two weeks on this one. Happy Christmas, and see you all next year! |

Nice Lloyd. Merry Christmas to you and family and friends too. Merry Christmas to everybody! I'm on leave from tomorrow so won't be around for a while! _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

I am afraid this is unlikely to be meaningful to non brits. Not sure much can be done to cheer up this miserable looking pub.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Here is the (scaled down size) of my original Christmas tree created 14 years ago and taking two weeks to complete.

Re: Challenge 985: What's on TV this Christmas?
Hi Ben, I'm on my own with nothing to do over Christmas, so I was naturally tempted to make the guy and three women be really part of the scene, and not look like "copy and paste" fakes.
Anyway, here is a "before and After" ...mia culpia...mia culpia...

Hi Michael, Merry Christmas. I had toned the girls down, looking at you image, perhaps too much. The blackboard menu is from my daughters kitchen. 
I can relate to the home alone, I typing this after midnight. All the best for New Year. |

Re: Challenge 985: What's on TV this Christmas?
Thanks Ben, and your latest entry is an improvement: much better. 
Okay, I have managed to get falling Snow and fire by reducing the frames from 100 to 52. I have deleted the two earlier entries and made this one my main entry.

Michael - very nice entry, lovely tree. Like the fire and snow, nice touch with the cat. I'm sure Steve will be impressed, moreover your first entry of the year "on topic" Hope you're feeling better. |

Nice tree and outdoor scene Michael but I hope that’s a mock electric fire, otherwise, that cat will have to be renamed Cinders.   |
