Just needed to be heard for a little while

I'm sitting here with a massive grin and welling up, I am so glad you managed to experience the childlike delight that you did, WaS, and also so proud that you managed to leave the blanket and get some photos what lovely, lovely people

SQUEEE! Also giggled at penguin

And yay for Milliefleur looking better and cuddling you! All the happies!

(NB - sometimes-ex-bulimic and still compulsive binge-eater here, so can sympathise with the EDs. Might be worth a trip to the doc, melly. Take care.)

Hi WaS, so glad your day was as good, if not even better than you hoped for!


Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Oh WaS, it was even better than we could have hoped. I think they must have been real elves!

I am so glad that you made it happen.

It was even better than I had imagined it to be. They all made such an effort to make it magical and they beyond succeeded. I will never forget it, it has totally made my Christmas. It has further proved to me my belief that most people are very kind and will go the extra mile for others if you are brave enough to ask them if they would. The whole thing made me feel very humble.

So glad to read about your reindeer adventure, a wonderful experience for a special person

Merry christmas to all as I shall be camping in windy isolated national park Torres del Paines in Patagonia, Chile with no wifi for a while!!

Yes, WaS, we are proud of you!

Now, what about poor old WaSp? How did he survive the elf-experience? Was there much holding of head?

Waves_and_Smiles

Aw, thank you everyone. For once I am little bit proud of myself especially as I managed not stay under the blanket!

Hahahahahaha! WaSp...got through it. He did join in with parts, he had no choice because elves kept saying you, too! He had a fixed grin for most of it, the most amusing moment being when the elf appeared to tell me Santa was ready for me. Cue a panicked stage whisper from WaSp "You aren't really going to see Santa are you?!" Followed by an even more alarmed "I don't have to go in with you, do I?!" The answer was yes to both! I think he secretly enjoyed it despite being a fetching shade of scarlet for most of it. This is partly my fault as I completely played along and did everything the elves asked and then entered Santa's Grotto and exclaimed "Hello Santa! Wow! It's really you!" This seemed to cause WaSp to be very interested in his shoes for some reason, can't think why!

But really, he was lovely and did join in. There was a point when I was doing the Snow White jigsaw where he just stood there and burst out laughing at me! I don't think he could believe it was really happening. He tells me he is scarred for life.

I'm so glad you had your magical day WaS. I can't be the only person sitting here with a silly grin on my face
