Things I'm Looking Forward To On CBeebies This Christmas

Sharing is caring, especially at Christmas!

You know how CBeebies is hosting that pyjama party this Christmas in celebration of their show 'Christmas In Storyland'? Well, you can host your own pyjama party by yourself with your TV friends from CBeebies AND CBBC at home by clicking the link to this nifty puppet theatre and colour-in elf hat activity and pancake recipe I found:

I'm celebrating Christmas in my own unique and cosy way this year - and every year if I have the chance - with my favourite things about what's to come this year: The Grumpus, Jody In Wonderland, Mouse & Mole At Christmas Time, Mimi & The Mountain Dragon and of course my Christmas tradition, Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker. I wish this could happen every year, but check out my warm-hearted Christmas-related blog posts this month, including Countdown To Christmas, various activity-related posts and my brand new Scream Street Christmas Bites! When it comes to yuletide, I'm in for the ride!

An Interview With Scream Street's Very Own Stretchy....

"Hello, everyone, I'm Luke's dad, Mike. Now to call 2020 a difficult year would be a dramatic understatement, however, some truly shining moments have been had, including Blue Peter's Six Badges Of Summer campaign. And if not for the monumental efforts of Tommy Donbavand, shows such as Scream Street might not exist, and we would be amiss if we didn't contribute to the celebration. I realize we're a little tardy in that regard, but since we recently had our second season, this is as good a time as any. And like I always say, "Better late than never". Wait - no I don't, how can I? But truth be told in light of the abomination you're about to watch, I wish it were never than late.

What started as a light-hearted episode about another one of Otto's evil schemes quickly devolved into a dumpster fire of course language, violence and sexual content. Long time viewers will know that's not exactly new to CBBC, but for whatever reason those deluded broadcasters have decided to go all in, so I must urge you all to not watch this episode, which I completely wash my hands of. It is wholly unsuitable for anyone and everyone, especially children. Still here? Alright. Don't say I didn't warn you." 

That's the warning they should've put up before the premiere airing of Vanity Calamity, but whatever, watch this sexy episode anyway:

Or...you can watch Mega magazine's interview with Luke's dad's voice actor....

26 Pranks More....

"Just 26 more Dennis and Gnasher adventures to go next year," sighed Dennis to himself as he relaxed on the climbing frame with his mates JJ and Pieface.

The Angel Badge

I've found this cute Hey Duggee Christmas craft on the CBeebies website! Try it out if you want whether you're young or old - makes a change to replace that boring old star with a jolly dog club leader as if he's gone to Heaven!

Countdown To Christmas Day 5 - Chocolate Coin Postbox

I was inspired by the chocolate coins and Clangers mug I got from Factory to do my Christmas story I.B.F.Fs: The 12 Coins Of Christmas, a tale where me and my friends each take turns to eat the 12 chocolate coins given to us on the day before December, leading to all sorts of Wintery Christmassy fun. You can make a postbox to store your chocolate coins - or your letters! - in for safe keeping. Just click the link below and grab some red, black and gold paint and cardboard:
