I just got mine since it is delivered to my house and I came home from college for the semester today.  I love birds and I doubt that anyone is more excited about the bird packaging than I am!  Did they have me in mind when they designed this package or something? :p  I don't know why they chose the birds, but I'm not disappointed at all.

I love the single too; how cool is it that Bill turned up for a fanclub single?  Overall probably my favorite package since I joined the fanclub, thanks guys!

Got my holiday package this morning, a nice little early Christmas present :D, thanks guys ;).
  I wonder if the birds are something to do with the new album???? :confused:  Love the packaging, very colourful :).
  Excellent to hear Bill playing drums and backing vocals, lovely!  I hope it's a hint of things to come ;) :D.

I still don't have the package, but the bird I see on Roberts' site looks like the Cardinals we saw in Athens, Ga?
Never seen one before that (Europe does not have these in the wild?), we asked an old lady what they were called and she only knew them as "Red Birds". After a small search we found the 'real' name:

The Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)

Loving the single. What's not to love? Bill Berry! 2 great tunes and Mills on vox! I crack up everytime I hear the line about the awful good girl he's been on Santa Baby.
Anything you wanna tell us, Mike?? ;)  :D

Mike did a great job !

He surely did. It takes a very secure straight man to go on record as having been a good girl!

Or think of all the fellows that he hasnīt kissed?
I doubt, even if he HAD been a girl, he would have been very good, though...

5 Live radio in the UK are discussing the Sugarbabes (?) single of Santa Baby at the moment, and looking for alternative covers  - shame I don't have my Christmas single to share. :rolleyes:
