Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-12-2025 — Christmas Eve

24th December, 2025: Christmas Eve.

I am officially up early: for a diabetic review.

Way too early!

So early, in fact, that my eyeballs hurt, and there’s utter silence from the street!

Frankly?

That’s actually quite nice.

There’s a certain romance to early mornings.

~≈🌅≈~

I know it’s Christmas: it’s silly season, in other words.

And, as a result of seeing a news piece on the King’s Christmas Message, this year?

I’ve got Roger Miller’s version of “England Swing’s Like a Pendulum Do”, floating around my head.

I can’t help but think one thing.

Whoever wrote the song had only heard of Westminster Abbey, and the Elizabeth Tower …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-12-2025 — Festivus for the Rest of Us.

23rd December, 2025: Festivus.

You know … there’s an old Catalan tradition …

This time of year, the inevitable Nativity scenes go up: and, in Catalonia?

There’s usually a Caganer: a ‘shitter’, in other words.

I have to confess, I don’t usually do Christmas decor … but having one in the window would certainly surprise people!

In all honesty, though?

I’m not too worried.

The only disappointment is the fact my Mac doesn’t have a Caganer emoji.

Heigh ho … !

~≈🎅🏻≈~

I think I need a haircut … !

No, there’s no ‘think’ about it: I need a haircut.

I just don’t know where’s going to be open in the run up to Christmas: and I’d hate to have to leave it … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd December 2025.

22nd December, 2025.

OK: I’ll admit it!

I’ve got an earworm, lurking around again!

Joy Sarney’s “Naughty, Naughty, Naughty”, before you ask.

I wish I knew why: I’ve only ever seen a Punch and Judy show, once!

~≈👊≈~

Hmmm … 

The thought occurs: that it’s almost Christmas, and almost pay day, as well.

And … ?

I’ll be able to sort out my bills when that happens.

And sort out one last roll of wrapping paper.

For the one present that managed to turn up late!

There’s always that one Amazon delivery … !

~≈🎁≈~

Which reminds me … I have my usual diabetic review, on Wednesday: which I think will include my annual foot check.

Yes: I’d’ve got it out of the way.

But … ?

It’s at 10·10 in the morning.

Yes: I’m going to be up early … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-12-2025 — Dalek Day.

21st December, 2025: Dalek Day.

Right … it’s officially Solstice.

Which means it’s the shortest day of the year, and it’s going to start getting dark, early.

Does it mean we have an excuse to start singing?

Not if you have a voice like mine!

Some else can do the job!

~≈🔔≈~

Did I mention yesterday wasn’t the Solstice … ?

Yesterday wasn’t the Solstice.

But did see my nephew pay a visit: and upload a video.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th December 2025.

20th December, 2025.

OK … 

I’ve got another earworm, this morning.

It’s my own damn fault: I had a sudden mental image of a reporter, and her camera crew, turning up to report on people who are dancing.

And … ?

Bam: I get DJ Casper turning up … 

Alongside a bunch of line dancing Chicagoans, and a camera crew … 

~≈👯≈~

On other fronts … ?

I’ve finished my review of “The Witch of the Waterfall”, the most recent episode of The War Between the Land and the Sea.
