Ive lost about MM's right tit in weight. It was no mean feat
I resemble that remark!
Two years ago my daughter's nice school headmistress asked if I would be the school santa. I couldn't think up an excuse fast enough so got roped into it - and let's face it, it's not really a compliment, it just means that you're one of the 'largest' of the school fathers.
So, here was santa and his faithful reindog, Dan!
When the big day came, santa had to sit in his grotto while each class came in to receive their presents. All went OK... I was giving it the yo ho ho, the little kids loved it, the big kids just took the piss, and one even nicked me bell, FFS.
And then came my daughter's class. On the spur of the moment I decided to put on a weird voice so that she wouldn't recognise me - I didn't want to spoil her belief in santa. Amazingly I got away with it, but to this day my daughter still thinks santa has a speech impediment!
Unless of course she's just being kind!
And a word to the wise... if you want repeat santa work, don't try and get the pretty school nurse to sit on yer knee! They never asked me back!
Ho , ho ,ho.
Brilliant story Mendip!!
I've been growing a beard for Xmas, trouble is my beard is black and white. Gonna have to bleach it for the big day.
What's the country of origin?
It always helped to have an energetic grandmother to organise it and all living relatively close together. My families, brothers, children and locally adopted, are all over the world now, progress?
I'll cook a Christmas dinner as usual. There always seems to be takers, two sittings last year. An early afternoon, for the "local workers"and early evening for the "farming families. The Sprouts and Cranberry Sauce did last through January though.

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.

Busyiest time of the year for the Samaritans.
Just sayin'
Ever seen the movie Bad Santa?
'kin hilarious.
Absolutely. I dont go to khon kean often but when we do theres absolutely no point in staying anywhere other than the pullman. For me its a 5 star hotel with 3 star price. Its got it all. Micro brewery in the basement, all kinds of differnt food going on. And cheap plus central would be crazy not to book in there. I believe it used to be under the sofitel brand? Breakfast buffet is the best ive seen. With a wife and 2 kids that probably saves you 800 baht by itself. Wish i could join ya
It did indeed. We go 2, 3 times a year just for a food binge. Cheap is in the pocketbook of the payer but for me 1,700 baht for the spread is damn good value.
Wish you could myself. You along with a couple others here are folks I would surely enjoy a holiday get together.
Thanksgiving started by a group of starving Pilgrims celebrating being saved from starvation by a tribe of friendly Native Americans. We all know how thanks was given to them. In retrospect the natives should have let the bastards starve.

My watch has been telling me it's 31st November today...
But no! Just a reminder that everyone can now start their Advent Calendars!

I keep meaning to visit the real thing in Portsmouth, but just never seem to get the time.
Went to his school, as old fashioned a boys only Grammer school you could wish to see.
Pretty horrific for a rebellious teenager like myself who had no interest in Latin FFS.
Nowadays a 6th form boys/girls college.

The county of Norfolk is still called Nelson's County.
Kiss me Hardy.
Mentioned Santa to my 3rd graders and one of them just yelled "Fake!" at the top of his lungs. Charming.
We're off to the UK on the 17th for Christmas.
I know my mum will have my nativity scene out on display - I haven't got a religious bone in my body but ya have to have a nativity scene!
Made this 48 years ago, and to be honest it's holding out better than I am!
... well, apart from my legs... I haven't had a leg drop off yet so I guess I'm doing better than Jesus!
We three kings of oil and tar
Stuck in Alabama again.
