    Snow delays Santa but brings thousands of children the Christmas weather they have been dreaming of, with the promise that Santa will send their gifts on when its a bit warmer for the deer. :)

    No need to panic about it. Kids will get twice the excitement eventually and hopefully some quality time playing with their parents instead of squirreling themselves off with latest acquisitions.

    Hm... crap socks from your parents or a brilliant week off school. Which do you prefer?

  • Absolutely right! If those lazy ghouls had got off their fat @rses and got decent jobs on the high street there'd be no tears on house prices. :D

    Well said.

    I think it's an improvement on Blacksh1te's usual output. Maybe a case of the 'tallest dwarf' though, but it's an improvement. :D

    Most kids have got enough !!!!!! already.

    I'm glad it will not be added to.


    And it will give them a taste of what to expect in the coming years.
