Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 5), by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "The Miser" by River Software (1990). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

An original song by me about eating and drinking far too much at Christmas.LYRICS: Too Many Mince Pies Christmas is a time for for sharing and giving But mainly it's a time to eat and drink everything* Bubbly for breakfast and mulled wine for lunch Wrapped up quite nicely with festive rum punch Gobbled up the turkey and OD'd on sprouts The after dinner port has given me gout
