    _______________________________________________________________________
    Christmas may only come once a year, but it sometimes feels like it is Christmas every day at Grand Illusions!
    Tim sends out over 150 Christmas cards, and of course he gets a lot of cards in return. And every January he sorts through all the cards he has received, and picks out a few of the ones he likes the best to add to his never ending collection. Here are his choices from Christmas 2023, plus a few of the gifts that he also would like to share with you.
    A tin toy delivery vehicle with a Christmas tree on top. Inside - lots of chocolate cars, wrapped in foil!
    A Rubik Cube where every piece is the same colour, but there are different shapes. A different kind of challenge!
    A Desktop Skatepark - so Tim can practice his Kickturns and Dragon Flips. Go Tim!
    Small sheets of paper that are actually soap.
    And a pen that you rotate as you write, which makes the writing colour change continuously.
    Then Tim shares all his favourite cards....
