Advent calendar

hnpccOn the third day of Christmas my advent calendar gave to me:
"All I want for Christmas is a cappuccino, an espresso, an affogato. If I could only have a moccaccino, or a macchiato then I would be hyper all through Christmas!*"
One of our local cafes, with Santa looking like he's about to dig in to a mugachino (that's way bigger than a cup, surely?) Given where we are - no snow here! - he's obviously at the North Pole coffee shop, about to get ready to load up the sleigh. (I do like how he's blowing on the coffee to cool it down - nice touch!) He is slightly over-dressed for the 30oC predicted temperatures here on the weekend - just looking at him is making me feel hot - but probably under-dressed for the Arctic at this time of year, even with the facial hair. It's so difficult to get the level of clothing right!
*If you're wondering, it's to "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". Which still strikes me as a seriously weird request! I've always assumed it was a child asking, but they would surely have (a) known that they were getting new teeth through and (b) asked for something else anyway. I only just realised it could be an adult asking, in which case that suddenly bumps the present into the high range, cost-wise. I still wouldn't ask for dental work for Christmas though... maybe as a post-Easter present, when I'd probably need it.
