CT Bear in an undecorated Christmas tree with an outstretched tabby clawed paw clamped to his head as Pix the cat attacks from above.

#CTBear had some issues last Tuesday taking the tree down… one for
#Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

#CTBear sequel
‘Terminatebear: Deep Fake’
coming December 2026.
[assuming we haven’t all been replaced by killer robots by then]

Thank you, #CTBear and friends ❤️

Sleep tight #CTBear #BivouacBear and we’ll look forward to December 2026.

“That’s all folks - see you in December”

#CTBear and Snowman officially end Christmas with the closing song of #TwelfthNight:
“𝘈 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘯, 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘺, 𝘩𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺”

Loft full of cardboard boxes of Christmas decorations variously marked baubles, tinsel, scandi chic, inflatable Santa, heirloom, plastic holly etc. A wooden storage chest in the foreground marked ‘Snowman’ sings “325 sleeps til Santa” while another chest marked ‘CTB’ sighs resignedly.

“Report 3rd Feb: one cursed singing decoration didn’t get the memo.” #CTBear

***Public Service Announcement***
“A reminder that it’s Candlemas today” says #CTBear from the loft box, “so your Christmas decorations can definitely come down now.”🎄

Wooden storage box with tinsel and a singing speech bubble “the sun always shines on tv” (CT bear sighs unseen)

Morten the Gnordic Gnome is singing up in the loft from the Christmas decoration box. #Totp #CTBear

Back by popular demand! While the real #CTBear is stored away in the loft, our boffins have created a new superior virtual AI bear for you to interact with - welcome to CryptoTechBear™️ !

Back in the loft for the next 11 months, it’s business as usual for #CTBear and the Singing Snowman…

“Time for bed, CTB” says Moley, not unkindly, as he carries the decorative bear to be stowed away in his allocated accommodation in storage for the next 11 months.
“See you in December everyone!” says #CTBear.

Hopefully #CTBear has checked out the storage plan and isn't too close to Snowman for the next 11 months

“Give me now leave to leave thee...” says #CTBear as he gazes on daylight for the last time before another 11 month tour of duty in storage…

Yes, you should stick around #CTBear! #FreeCTBear

“Thank you for a lovely Christmas” says Snowman as #CTBear tucks him safely back into his bed box, ready for the loft. “See you next Christmas” says the bear.
As the lid closes, Snowman chirps out “I’m so happy I could SING…”

“To your muster stations, people, you know the drill” says #CTBear as the decorations begin their retreat back into loft storage.

As the decorations come down this morning and Christmas is officially over, the wee Three Kings of Orient are rocking up for #Epiphany and bump into #CTBear on his way out.
“What do you mean you’re off, CTB?” ask the Magi, “we’ve only just arrived!”👑👑👑

We're so sad this is your last post #CTBear. You have served well! *salutes* Although we think you should be free to sleep wherever ýou want and not have to do so I the loft. #FreeCTBear

Thank you, #CTBear and Snowman, sleep well!

As the snow turns to rain, here is the last official tweet of Christmas from #CTBear and Snowman for #TwelfthNight:
“𝘈 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘯, 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘺, 𝘩𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺”

Off the tree - Teddy bear decoration with a bottle of #Dartmoor Jail Ale beer and Snowman with a miniature Ten Tors gin bottle.

“Time for a final #TwelfthNight wassail before we all go back to our boxes” says #CTBear

🎵“On the 12th day of Christmas my true love sent to me…
…Twelve lords a leaping “🎵
Everyone on the tree is jumping up & down - it’s the last day of Christmas! Tonight is #TwelfthNight; decorations come down tomorrow when the Kings arrive. “It’s only one more sleep until the loft box” says #CTBear.

“On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me…
…Eleven ladies dancing,” sings snowman, before adding “nice dress” to #CTBear.

“Seems everyone has forgotten it’s still Christmas until Twelfth Night” says #CTBear, “perhaps we’re overdoing it, or it might just be the New Year blues.”
“Impossible!” chuckles Snowman, “I wish it could be Christmas EVERY DAY!”

🎵“On the 10th day of Christmas
my true love sent to me…”🎵
Ten Pipers Piping.
“We did that Billie Piper piping icing a cake joke last year - why do it again?” asks #CTBear.
“Because we want to!” sings Snowman. #TwelveDaysOfChristmas

“Our #TwelveDaysOfChristmas Irish Linen #teatowel has the ‘correct’ running order, and I won’t hear a word different” says #CTBear

🎵“On the 9th day of Christmas
my true love sent to me…”🎵
Nine Drummers Drumming 🥁⁹
“This is the running order from 1780, the Drummers leading the parade ahead of the Pipers Piping and Ladies Dancing, with Lords a Leaping last” says #CTBear.

“Happy New Year” says #CTBear. “We’ve been doing this solidly for a whole month now, but it’s only New Year’s Day - Christmas doesn’t actually end until Twelfth Night. After that, the Three Kings arrive, so it’s still a bit baby-in-a-manger centric”

#HappyNewYear
“On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me… eight maids a-milking”
“I hope it’s human kindness” says #CTBear joining with Snowman to sing ‘War is Over, if you want it’ (another timeless plea of hope while 2025 inevitably starts out much as 2024 ended)
