Ah I was gonna say I've been informed of some fantastic gifts for christmas, similar in style to Bang on The Door, comical and bright cartoon type design money boxes, with girls faces on springs, in bright yellow and bright pink.
Should be retailing at £4.99 but will be sold at £1.00 each plus postage.

Would be perfect for kids and even teenagers and students! Should anyone else read this and want some info just send me a PM xx

My kids all still believe, 3,8,9,+10 and so do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

We all do as well !.....we watch his trip around the world on the NORAD website. It is Continental Air Defense Command in the USA tracking Father Christmas and recording sightings of him around the world. We have the computer on from the middle of xmas eve when he starts the other side of the world. The little ones keep going to have a look and listen to the reports from each country....they get more and more excited as he gets nearer to GB. Last year Jonathan Ross was reporting saying he just seen Father Christmas fly over Buck Palace! It's such fun!!

We use the NORAD tracking system too, it's brilliant and personally I don't give a damm if all the rest of the year it's used for tracking missiles. To think that all these air force people give up their time to preserve the belief for children is a wonderful thing.

My daughter belived in Santa until she was 12 and of course my two youngest still do but then how could they not when i still believe:D . My dad used to play santa every year for all the children in our army camp and even now he looks like him:rotfl: so as far as my children are concerned our family has worked for santa for generations. We will be using the NORAD snata tracking this year and the boys will love it.

I sat down yesterday and made out my christams list for everyone, i have so much stitching to do i will have to get started as soon as the children go back to school, but i also have my OH, FIL and daughters birthday in september to plan and get organised as well, so much to do, so little time:eek:

I've never heard of this before!! Well here's one person who will be using it this Christmas Eve, just sorry that my boys missed out for so long, but as they all still have pillowcases for their pressies, we will track Father Christmas this year!!! My grandson will be three and my new grandson only about 6 weeks, but never too young to start, eh?:D Thanks so much, as moggins says what a lovely thing to do!!

As each of my boys got to a "certain age" we told them they were now part of the secret to be preserved and besides which we all liked the story printed on the front of the American newspaper about Santa Claus!!

I love xmas!!!

And i love xmas eve more than xmas day, i have a old slow cooker that i make mulled wine in, and all our friends know we love christmas day alone, to me it is just great, just me ,Hubby and the 4 kids, so all my friends and family know we do a open house on xmas eve.

I have the mulled wine on the go all day, loads of mince pies and cakes and cookies.
The kids love it as they get visits from all there friends which helps past the time until santa is coming nicely!!

We get to see everyone and wish all a merry xmas.

We do make up for not having anyone round on xmas day by always being the host for the new years eves party!!
All our friends have kids so we cant all get babysitters so we organise loads of games, and have the karoke on the go. Oh im getting excited already!!
