Thanks Dave. Yes, Bruxelles do have that effect. We used to leave out a small carrot for him. And a mince pie and a glass of something to warm the cockles of the man in red. It was all gone at 4 am the next morning.
It was always a malt (see today's blog) when the lads were little in our house. Amazingly the glass was always empty and there were teeth Mark's in the carrot in the morning!
No. Guess who got the job of chewing the carrot and drinking the whiskey? I still don't know how Santa got down the flue in the range? Unless he came down the chimney in the front room? That will be it won't it?
We lay in bed listening for noises on the roof and then pretended to be asleep. Or maybe we dreamed it all. Either way it was a good time. Chocolate money and an orange in my sock.
It's the magic of the smart phone that has children here in its grip. A recent education survey found that 28% of children (aged 15 to 16) had poor to very poor reading ability. Even worse, if that's possible, 50% said they never read a book unless they have to do so for school.
Thank you. A very good early card for us. I see a publisher is seeking to make lots of money; there's a book with Miss Thunberg's name on it in the bookshop windows. Mr McDonnell over here in Britain is going to supply all our electric power from windfarms. I wonder who is brainwashing who.
Some people from Austria decided to go to the much heralded enviro conference. One even paid nearly 500 euro for a train ticket. When he got to Zurich he discovered the French trains were on strike and had to spend the night in a Zurich hotel, also not cheap. Another who set off a day earlier arrived in Zurich to find she’d missed her connection by 4 hours. I don’t if she continued or not, but the man carried on the next morning. Altogether he need 4 train connections and more than 33 hours to reach Madrid. Perhaps these people should have gone to Monaco and hitched a lift on a passing yacht.
It's a striking resemblance to Ms Thunberg Gwil. Santa looks like he's been at the sauce. Thanks for the card Gwil it's very good and funny!
ReplyDeleteI shall now try and show you the full unexpurgated version, Dave. Hope it works ;-)
DeleteSuccess!
DeleteIt's very good Gwil. Tell Rudolph to cut out the Brussels before he sets off on his journey.

DeleteLove the idea of listening for noises on the roof. It's awful when our children no longer believe in the magic that is Christmas.

DeleteI posted same comment twice.
DeleteI like the surprised look on Rudolph's face.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. Life is full of surprises even for reindeer especially the ones who live at the North Pole.
DeleteBut Reindeer poo is good for the Rhubarb.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Cro and it doesn’t stink either :-) or so I’ve heard.
