Hi Sylvia, that's fantastic (Hi Richard, is she the same Sylvia as our Sylvia?)
The turkey how-to was especially good. It just goes to show how we aspiring customizers need to keep our imaginations open. Anything can be made into anything with Playmobil.
In the UK you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, is this right?
I have a Brit friend who recently told me that in the UK they celebrate Thanksgiving on July 4th ... ;D
What is that!!!!
In the UK you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, is this right? Or is the holiday taking on an international status?
Do you have any major British holidays we don't celebrate in the states? Boxing Day and Saint George's Day?
Saint George's Day begs for a custom klickie, but I'm not sure what to do with Boxing Day. That relates to alms for the poor, right?
The bad weather, at least in the midlands and north, also gives the holiday season a sort of soft skies and long nights mood (probably like English winter). I guess you have to be a northerner to enjoy rotten weather!

In the good old days, the day after Thanksgiving marked the start of the Christmas rush, but that has in recent times moved to the day after Halloween.
Aw man, that's sad. My wife has always told me how Thanksgiving holds up the start of the Crassmas* Campaign in the US compared to the UK.
* Definition of Crassmas - all the advertising schlock, street decorations going up in late October, Xmas cards from work colleagues who normally won't give the time of day, cheery office Christmas meals which you still have to pay for yourself, and any other unwelcome add-ons that spoil the season and make one think that Ebenezer Scrooge had some good ideas.
Tim, am I correct in thinking that you have no children as yet?
Btw, you won't be able to escape Christmas at PlaymoFriends once December has started, because the forum gets decorated each year too. ;D
We even have seasonal smilies! <*) :elf: :P
Tim, am I correct in thinking that you have no children as yet?
I found that once I had kids it became a bit easier to overlook the commercialism which surrounds Christmas. You get to see how much it means to them and their excitement has a way of rubbing off onto you no matter how jaded you might feel. ;)
And, don't forget our "Resident Santa" ... ;)

Don't tempt us, Richard! :lol:
I'm not above raising my kid to believe in "Mr. Richard", who lives at his workshop in the Virgin Islands and every year delivers toys to all the good little boys and girls.

Is that Santa Richard's off-duty headwear? ;D
Let's see the proper hat! ;)

Oopsie. Pardon my assumption then. :-[
Christmas is definitely more fun if you are a child or have children around.Or if you are a 64 year old child, (at heart at least) :yup:
Since, Timotheos keeps all his Playmobil "under lock and key," it is possible that maybe it's just his wife who has the "children" ... ;D
