AND FINALLY

There’ll be less hippy Christmases in Germany this year thanks to party pooping drug Kops.
A two-metre high cannabis plant decorated with tinsel and fairy lights was seized by fuzz during a drugs raid in Koblenz, scuppering the owner’s plans to have a really festive season.

Another raid in Munich ended in arrest for a 21-year-old man who had taken the trouble to make his own advent calendar. Instead of the more usual chocolates or pictures of baby Jesus, behind each door was his day’s supply of Mary Jane.

There have been no reported arrests of those still holding out for a white Christmas...
