Let me know what are your favourite songs?
We have to start with a classic Christmas song, so it has to be Shakin Stevens with his 1985 hit

Bright Green Penguins Guide to Christmas Cards
Why send the same Christmas card as everyone else, why not send something different, and you can also help support independent designers, shops and galleries
So I am going to post lots of great card designs, which can be bought of sites like Etsy, from craft fairs, galleries or independent shops.
So click on the card you like to take you through to the site which sells the cards
Part of the inspiration behind my Christmas Card blog is the #justacard campaign to encourage people to buy from independent shops, galleries & designers. www.justacard.org

Bright Green Penguins's Guide to Christmas Gifts
Since I follow so many great creatives out there, I want to help support them and with Christmas coming up, what better idea is there than having the Bright Green Penguin's Guide to Christmas Gifts. I will be keeping this post update with more and more cool items. I am trying to find items, which will appeal to a variety of people, but all of them I think are cool.
So happy shopping! (and if you know anyone I should be featuring let me know)
Also this list is my part in trying to encourage the #justacard campaign, which is all about encouraging people to support local designers and shops. Click on the link below to find out more
