    Christmas bright idea

    SY03 says he does not believe in Father Christmas any more. He is 8 years old, and a big boy now apparently. He has promised not to spoil it for his younger siblings.

    I casually asked him what it would take to get him believing again. He said he would need to see him delivering the stockings, and not have a fake beard.

    So I bought a 10 pc Santa costume (which I fill out nicely ) and some beard glue.

    Should be entertaining. What could possibly go wrong
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    I'd have just said 'ok son' and then come Christmas morning watched his face as his siblings opened their stockings and his remained empty at the bottom of his bed.

    Remember non-believers don't get pressies or enter the kingdom of god!

      He's not very bright. I pretended to believe until I was about 23 so I still got presents.

        Doogie still believes so he can get a free sip of wine and a piece of bread each year.

            I'm sure my oldest son (8) doesn't believe but he doesn't say.

            Reminds me of this scene in Ghostbusters -




            if there's a stead stream of presents in it, I'll believe anything you say.

              Now that's what I call a proper contractor

                Can't possibly imagine, but are your chimneys as wide as the ones in, say, Hampton Court?

                    That's nothing - immediately after this is the perfect client -
