Finally A Day Full Of Fun And Joy.

[gness]

We had a message from Santa a while ago asking if he could use our dining room to zoom chat with the children in our area. No meeting Santa and knee sitting this year.
Of course we agreed. I made a grotto and Dave did all the techy stuff needed.

Santa arrived and the fun began. I hid away. It's not a good idea for me to be near anything that could go wrong. I could hear though. The joy and excitement of little ones chatting to Santa was making even me a bit teary. Santa's called Santy here and the times I heard shouts of.....Santy....it's really Santy!

Santa knew what the children had been doing all year. It was in his Magic Book. The children loved that. Some even asked if friends were in the Magic Book....or not!
Santa and the children even discussed whether instead of a sherry and a mince pie a substantial meal would have to be provided this year. Santa explained that he was chubby enough and didn't want to get stuck in chimneys so perhaps just the carrots to keep Rudolph's nose nice and shiny.
This has been a wonderful day.... :-)

Thanks, Patsy. We've got as much out of it as the children...x

you wouldn't want to get your beard caught in that, rowan

[Zacs-Master]

Do you have a link to you’re Govt’s Santa exemptions, Gness?

[Zacs-Master]

Your!

[gness]

Rowan. If you think I'd give up the two gorgeous bits of eyecandy who cut our field in exchange for that....think again!

Will see if I can find a link, Zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks, Gness.

[gness]

Welcome, Zacs..x

What a lovely thing to do. I do hope Santa didn't annoy SD too much. A guy who brings such joy to so many little people must be a real rival for the affections of the lady of the house.

Unfortunately the white bearded guy in this house is grumpy. I suggested that a nice Christmas present was to massage my aching bits. He said something quite rude!!!!

[gness]

Santa was fine, BM until Dave tried to sit on his knee and whisper into his ear what he would like for Christmas.

[rowanwitch]

How did your bits and up aching in the first place

[sunny-dave]

That would be an ecumenical matter, Rowan ...

[gness]

Thanks, Dave...not! I detest Father Ted...except for the time we had to drive past the house where it was filmed and the pig leapt out in front of your car and walked very slowly for miles as you chuntered... :-)

We are moving house, Rowan. Next time I have an idea like this someone should shoot me.

I think if I tried to sit on his knee and tell my Santy what I want for Christmas his knees would finally give up the ghost.
