Can remember as a child, slightly waking up and seeing 'santa' come in my room and leave my presents at the bottom of my bed, of course it was my dad dressed up, but it was a magical memory.
My son was gutted when he found out. we had lied to him for years his very words where "you told me not to lie if I had known I would not of ask for so much as I know we can't afford it " Bless him how ever he still asks for to much

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Quite apt for today in my garden.."A stitch in time saves nine"
Thanks Dove..
When my son asks 'what are you doing mummy?'
I reply, as though its the most obvious thing, 'I'm climbing a tree!'
Sometimes I'll mix it up and say, flying a helicopter, or, painting the ceiling.
All year we tell our children not to to lie or talk to strangers, then xmas draws near and we we tell them Santa is coming into their homes

How many of us remember other kids at school who insisted they'd seen Santa...the not telling lies bit didn't work
