A delightful send-off for 2011 from British animator Cyriak. [Video Link]

Note: the disquieting photo at the end is of English entertainer and spiritualist Noel Edmonds, famed for the bourgeois mediocrity of his Christmas variety shows, etc., and whose head was once compared to "a superfluous extrusion from the main body of an object, such as a surplus knob of butter on a corner of toast."

    “and whose head was once compared to “a superfluous extrusion from the main body of an object, such as a surplus knob of butter on a corner of toast.”" I’m not sure that’s true,  unless someone was repurposing the old pun that ended in “Knoll Head Mounds”. Can’t remember the set up but it wasn’t originally toast…

    Nice chrissy vid, though!
