💕 Love this funny and heart warming thread #DuvetKnowItsChristmas - enjoy, contribute and donate to Centrepoint if you can. 🙏
Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

A fatal chintz overdose,
Colours that clash,
Precarious wall plates that threaten to smash
But without all these things, Yuletide isn’t the same
Your old bedspread shouldn’t inspire such shame...
#DuvetKnowItsChristmas? Of course we do, right?
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

In one of those great episodes that takes place on location outside the school, Trevor gets drunk on the bus, Jonah falls in the sealion pit, Bullet gets lost in the forest, and Roland is devoured by cannibals. Broadcast just after Wes Craven’s Newsround.

Tonight Þvörusleikir (Spoon Licker), the 4th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He sneaks in to lick used þvörur (large wooden cooking spoons).
Children leave their shoes out for him in the window. He gives the good ones a small gift or a treat. The bad ones get a potato.

Around the year 1900,
18% of American children died before the age of 5.
Plus, their premature deaths haunted their families.
Vaccination knocked that death rate below 1%.

What was childhood like before vaccines?
The anti-vax movement has gone mainstream, but before these shots, grief and loss marked the lives of children.
