  • I've spoken to Santa and he said he will be coming to our street just after it goes light, so if anyone wakes up and it is still dark he won't have been yet. My neighbours love me. They even send their children to my house on Christmas Eve to confirm what Santa has said.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    Bah Humbug!
    I asked my kids about this and they said it wasnt fair to not want your kids to get up at a 'reasonable' time on xmas day. It is a special day and theres nothing like the second sleep you get after opening your stocking and eating a chocolate orange at 4am :eek:

    To avoid all evil, to do good,
    to purify the mind- that is the
    teaching of the Buddhas.
