Season's Greetings to you. I hope, like us, you are able to wind down and take a well earned break as everything closes down for the festive season. With that in mind, we thought you might like to have a bit of fun with our Christmas Quiz. Questions are to the left and answers are at the bottom right of the page.
We have spent some time over the last few months redesigning our website,
particularly making it more suitable for use on tablets and smartphones
- see below for details and let us know what you think.
All of us at ley hill solutions wish you all the very best for the coming Christmas holiday season, however you are spending it, and a happy and successful 2017.

We have changed the lay-out of
our website, trimmed down some of the content and given the pages a more consistent look and feel, to make it easier to navigate the site and find what you are looking for without having to scroll down lengthy menu lists. We hope you like it and would welcome any feedback.
Have a look at our new
Homepage and also follow these links to examples of our new
menu lay-out and explanations of
what we do and how we can help you.
We have also made it compatible with use on smartphones and tablets, so do try it out on all your devices and contact us if you have any comments or suggestions.

Christmas Quiz Answers
Songs
- Composed by Irving Berlin and sung by Bing Crosby, White Christmas first appeared in the 1942 American film Holiday Inn and later won the 1943 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
- Composed by Howard Blake and performed by 13 year old Peter Auty, a St Paul's Cathedral choirboy, Walking in the Air was recorded especially for the 1982 animated film The Snowman, based on the book by Raymond Briggs.
Children's stories in rhymed verse
- Clement Clarke Moore wrote Twas the night before Christmas, also called A Visit from St. Nicholas, in 1822. It redefined our image of Christmas and Santa Claus, as before then St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children, had never been associated with a sleigh or reindeers!
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas, first published in 1957, was written by Theodor Geisel, much better known as Dr. Seuss, who also did the illustrations.
Acting Santa
- Edmund Gwenn played Kris Kringle (aka Santa Claus) in the 1947 original
- Richard Attenborough played him in the 1994 remake
