It's a big worry......
alarmed to overhear a discussion this morning among a few of our young academics. They must have been 7 or 8 years old and should have known better. The disrespect, the ridicule, the lack of gratitude, the giggling, the sheer audacity. I could go on. Suffice to say my blood was pumping with absolute fury. I bit my tongue because other adults were nearby but my face must have shown great anger.
I'll take a mo to compose myself..............
ok. They didn't exactly say Santa doesn't exist as such but if he could hear them he would have cried. As I nearly did. Santa devotes his whole life to children and adults at Christmas time and he is just taken for granted. Someone has to speak up for the great man
sorry folks! I'm really upset

You need to see Santa's little helpers, they run the National Elf Service
With you on that one verdun it isn't on,
Of course he is real , just like the Easter bunny,the much loved tooth fairies, and lots lots more .

Cheer up Verd at least you and I know he is real for a start , and many ,many more on here too will vouch fire him I'm sure
Well - they won't get a present from him then will they? Seemples
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well I still believe
We need our 'Santa' smilies.
Heard of Santa Monica, think I used to Tango with her, "oh" and Santa Lucia, they would fight over me but "Santa Claus"???? Now Father Christmas yes, he comes down my chimney every year which is very queer as I do not have one. Right now I am mad upset red with fury!!!! Who the heck eats the mince pie the carrot and drinks my fine Scottish Lock Water?? Saying that he does leave after shave that brings me out in a rash, fancy soaps on string that get hung in the garage, I think the mice eat them, diaries and calendars pens and pads, is that a hint I do not write to Father Christmas, "oh" I forgot the over sized jumper scarf and bobble hat, the socks with multi coloured messages on them? who reads socks I ask.
OK I do not have to cook the Christmas lunch as I will be with family and grandchildren having a lovely time and we will thank Father Christmas for all his lovely presents, now where did I put the mince pie and carrots.
Frank.
If Father Christmas doesn't show any indication that he has heard by hints I won't leave any pasta out for him
Probably left overs..... Kef doesn't like pasta
It's what Father Christmas gets at this house if he's a good one, aka under gardener
