Middy readers' Christmas pictures: decorations, pets and more

On the Middy Facebook page this month, we’ve been asking readers to send in all of their festive photos.

Every week, we’ve had photos of Christmas jumpers, Christmas tree decorations, and pets helping with the decorating - we were even sent a photo of an inflatable fireplace.

We also asked readers some divisive questions, ranging from their favourite chocolate selection box to the best prize to win in a Christmas cracker.

Jen Radford said: “We all like different ones, so we have a tub of Quality Street, tub of Roses and tub of Heroes,” which seems like a smart way to solve any arguments over who has to have the Bounty.

Sharon Carter is a Quality Street fan, as is Richard Fuller

While Andrea Newlyn-Jones says ‘definitely Quality Street for tins’, she prefers Milk Tray for boxes - ‘although you can’t beat Hotel Chocolat, just a tad too expensive though’ she says.

Jenny Hughes and Sharon Brownings are Heroes fans, while Charlotte Baldwin and Holly Hoosdally opt for Celebrations and Roses.

When we quizzed you about Christmas crackers, the preferred prizes ranged from a useful mini screwdriver set to the ‘magic fish’ which curls up in your hand.

We were shown Dumbledore the kitten from Jo Stone, who was doing his best to help with the Christmas tree, and Xavier Voigt-Hill sent in a photo of his work colleagues at their Christmas dinner, where Christmas jumpers were enforced ‘on pain of forfeits’.

And, in perhaps the most meaningful and heartfelt post, Ann Duke showed us her favourite Christmas decoration.

She said: “My fireside Santa. My late mum bought him for us, about 20 years ago, at the visiting French Market in Burgess Hill.”

From all of us at The Mid Sussex Times, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
