There are now less than than two weeks to go until Santa goes on his annual present delivery jaunt across the globe which means that, however much you try to deny it, it is indeed beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
And as well as giving presents, Christmas is of course a time when many people like to exchange cards too and if you fancy staying true to your Newcastle roots with your choice of card this year you can.
When it comes to a there are certain things that have to be involved - Lindisfarne's festive gigs at the City Hall, a burst of Little Donkey, Greggs Festive Bakes and a trip to see Fenwick's Window to name just a few.
And the latter two are referenced in what we reckon is the most Geordie Christmas card to be created EVER! Hot on the heels of their and Elf inspired seasons greetings cards, local business Geordie Gifts has come up trumps again with another card.
