Tonight

fb drum

“When all the doors on my Advent calendar have opened, then it will start to snow! Then it will be Christmas! After I go to bed, there will be the clip-clop of hooves on the roof if you listen closely. Then the thud thud thud of boots. And Father Christmas will slide down the North Pole, and come out the fireplace- and he won’t get stuck because his sack is TOO BIG, because he’d be careful. He will walk down the hallway- clomp clomp clomp and the noise that he makes is Ho Ho Ho! And he’ll fill up my stocking with PRESENTS and fill up Kate’s stocking too, and he’ll put more presents under my Christmas tree. He’ll eat up his biscuits and drink his milk and take the carrot for his reindeer. Then he’ll fly away around the world!”
Farmboy, 2010

Have a wonderful Christmas, and may your stocking be as full!

Lovely Sam. When my kids were little and their father had to milk the cows Christmas morning,when he was finished milking i would sit in the kitchen with them and he would climb in the lounge window and make a racket, ho, ho hoing. The kids truly thought it was Santa. The same always happened for the Easter bunny too. Just wish he had seen his beautiful kids grow up.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your lovely family.
