	No Joy, it is still part of the DC Thomson empire through Findmypast Limited. I don't think Findmypast or Ancestry have any baubles displayed. So maybe it's just austerity.

	I wonder if they'll remember to change the year? :-0 Just joking folks :-D

	Genes Reunited is one of the UK’s largest family history websites and currently has over 13 million members worldwide. Their Twitter heading - they have not posted since 2016 says it all really can't be bothered set in a long time ago. PS Just seen a Tweet from FMP wishing members a happy New Year ;-)

	:-D :-D :-D@Caroline. Remember "Get it out in the open! I know I do! Pat, GRs last post on FB was 2016! The ones in the cupboard, sorry office, are a joke - is it one person sat in their bedroom using different names to make them look like 'staff'? Bring back Estelle and Phil!

	I think now it's New Year we all should send GR/GC an email to say how annoyed we are for their forgetfulness in putting the baubles up. Happy New Year to Everyone, <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

	Yes I think one of Mersey's early posts was RRed for using the word "bum". It was soon reinstated.

	Epiphany 6 Jan here but I understand Orthodox Eastern is a couple of days later. Always had a party at work for Twelfth Night, Pat. Usually around the time we went back to work after our Christmas break. Party time? :-D

	No Joy they celebrate on the 6th here so early next week is public holidays again :-D
