Unless you’re particularly grumpy at the moment you must’ve got caught up in the festive spirit, even if only a little. I’ve been working hard getting Christmas cards out and posting people their orders from our shop.

I’ve also been putting some finishing touches to this year’s Christmas video and I’m pleased to say it’s looking great. You can read more about the day we filmed it here.

It’s a nostalgic nod to children’s television from a bygone era, complete with a wonky set, dodgy special effects and low-tech puppetry.

We’re going to be sharing it with the world tomorrow and it would be fantastic if you could help with this.

If you use Twitter or Facebook we’ll be using the hashtag #ancientcrumb to talk about it. And if you’re not sure what that’s about you’ll just have to wait until you’ve watched the video tomorrow.

But if you really can’t wait, have a look at my regal Christmas Message from last year, or this beautiful animation from 2012.
