Here are two bloggers who know how to keep Christmas well. The handsome one in the green shirt is Mike Murphy, author of Smoke and Mirrors. The intelligent looking one on the left is your humble scribe.
Michael shares my love of the traditional: fountain pens, leather backed volumes, pipes, and pocket watches enjoy a special place in his heart just as they do in mine, and there is something very Dickensian about working at an old tobacconist’s, where the sights, and especially the smells, can still transport you to another century.
Merry Christmas to all!

Nothing better during this Season than a pipe full of good leaf.
May your other-century world be filled with joy and happiness. Happy Christmas.
Merry Christmas, buddy.
Mingus totally rules.

This picture takes me back. I was brought up above the family newsagent, stationer and tobacconist’s. Cherished memories and smells are always with me.
Hope you had a fine Christmas.
Well, well, well. If I ever saw two faces that meant trouble, it would have to be these two!
Haha, very nice, very nice. Thanks for sharing, now the only question that remains is who of these two men is Santa Claus?
