Discovered in the Bleak Midwinter - 3rd of December

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Happy Nearly-Midwinter to you! (and if you're in the Southern Hemisphere enjoying Nearly-Midsummer, not a peep please we're bloody freezing up here).
Here, prefaced by my apologies for blatantly half-inching inspiration from a well-known, much-loved and infinitely better fic (Boxing Day by The Hag, which I cannot recommend highly enough) is a tiny little cold-weather snippet.

In the Bleak Mid Sodding, Bloody, Bastarding Winter

It was the worst month, the shittiest, the coldest, darkest, wettest – it was the absolute bloody fag-end of the year. It was the end of January. The bitterest weather, and nothing – not one single solitary thing – to look forward to: no breaks, no biking and, it seemed increasingly likely, no Bodie.

( It'd been nothing short of weird ... )

I've got another post planned for later in the day but here's a puzzle to start with. The challenge is to unscramble the letter blocks to find a Pros related holiday phrase. There are pictures with each puzzle which may or may not be helpful but if nothing else, at least you get to look at the lads whilst you're working on them.

You do not have to have a dropbox account to download the files, just scroll down to the bottom and click on view without signing in. The download button is in the upper right of the screen. The Word files may look strange in the preview but the downloaded files are fine. (Why, yes, I do edit technical documentation, why do you ask? :) )
