LITTLE BADGES - BADGE 'o' THE MONTH DECEMBER. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THANK YOU

Hi

The virtual kettle's on..... So while I let it boil I just have this to say

Well....The month has pretty much passed us by. We have been frantically shipping stocking filler badges out this month and last, and well, I did not realise it was almost Christmas day and we had not hero worshipped our December badge.

I for one apologise. (welling up)

So yep, At the BEGINNING of December we put up one of our favourite Christmas badge.
"Who ate all the mince pies". We love it because it's true. I for one cannot get enough of the little fellows.

Since I was a young boy, My neighbour a lady called Mrs Wilkinson, and her daughter would always make us the most incredible home made mincemeat and mince pies! Delicious. Every year without fail, they would bring around a tin (a big tin) of layers of Mince pies.... and our little faces would light up.

Sadly I had to grow up and move away from home, which meant, no more of these delicious Mince pies......

And then as if by magic that first Christmas away from home, I realised that.... I could make the mince pies myself. I knew a recipe or two, I have very good pastry making hands. Why not. How hard can it be.

Well, trying to garner years and years of mince pie making prowess into my first year, I can admit that I did not manage to make mince pies as well as Mrs Wilkinson.....but, they were not bad. And now with many more years experience under my belt and a few thousand mince pies under that same belt, I can make a pretty decent mince pie.

Mr Oliver recipe for the shortcrust pastry, and Mrs Delia for the homemade mincemeat. and of course a dusting of snow and a little magic brings them all together.

And that is why "Who ate all the mince pies" deserves the accolade of Badge 'o' The Month.

So to all of our fantastic and amazing customers, pile into the shop for a virtual Mince pie, and a virtual mulled wine or traditional cuppa splosh!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single customer we have had the pleasure of serving this year. To all those that got in touch, emailed, commented, purchased, browsed etc etc... A very big heartfelt HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all. Without you we are nothing, together we are invincible...

Rock on Badge buddies, feel free to keep our idle fingers working over Christmas, as you know, you are always welcome, and we will meet up again soon in the new year.

Merry Christmas.
