Reminds of a Mae West anecdote: she designed a Christmas card featuring a nude shot of herself with the caption: "Come up and see me sometime. Merry Christmas, Mae West." Her publicist substituted a design of his own featuring a shot of an exhausted Santa Claus. The caption? "Santa comes but once a year -- too bad".
Absinthe, cherry brandy and Glava were the drinks on offer in our household, for savoury nibbles I had the twiglets and Carmen had a bumper bag of monster munch and a bumper bag of dry roasted peanuts. I sat and ate a full tray of dates whilst watching a carry-on film and spent most of boxing day sat on the toilet.
He didn't show up, but I forgive him, as this picture clearly demonstrates how busy and exhausted he must have been riding that sleigh and going in and out of that chimney!
I learned from 3yo Nephew all about santa's reindeer and their consumption of carrots, oats and a bucket of water he an bigger sister had laid out on the front lawn Christmas eve. After showing me the evidence of them having been eaten I said "So does that mean santa parked his sleigh on the front lawn at your house?" he looked at me and said in all seriousness.... "Don't be stupid... He came around on the fire truck and parked it over there!"... pointing to a patch of bare earth besid the house.... Santa's Helpers tend to do a lot of their travelling on fire trucks here in OZ Yes i had a great christmas...

FIRST! was Santa good to me? store closed and no customers - I'd say that was mighty fine!
ReplyDeleteThe general public are rather annoying, aren’t they, Topher?
DeleteStores would be more enjoyable if you could keep customers out of them!
Yes. And I now have bum spread from sitting on the sofa watching telly.
ReplyDeleteSxxxx
Bum spread, Miss Scarlet?
DeleteIt sounds like something you’d spread on toast.
Similar to toast toppers
DeleteMITZI: I'm sure I saw those on a recall list.
DeleteSanta was very good to me! And I was very good to Santa!
ReplyDeleteDid he empty his sack for you, Cookie?

DeleteHUGGY JON: I bet you’re wearing a milk moustache.

ReplyDeleteMR. LAX: Hahaha!
DeleteSomewhere in Canada there's a Nekkid Monkey feezing it's balls off....
DeleteSherry, cider, wine, jenever, champagne, advocaat and whiskey. A good Xmas all round, I'd say!
ReplyDeleteHic!

JON: That you could spell all those without typos is a sign that you survived Xmas.
DeleteOr someone else typed his comment for him!

ReplyDeleteMITZI: Did you buy everything from Poundland?

You will have to forgive me, I haven't got my reading glasses on. This picture - is it a scene from the new Bond film, Skyfall?
