Bargains – British Airways Flight Sale & Holiday Inn  rooms £45 & Debenhams Online Exclusive Half Price Sale

An exciting evening for Scarlet and Jack. We had to put keys outside for Father Christmas, along with reindeer food and a carrot and of course indoors a mince pie and glass of booze for FC. Stockings out and then they were off to bed for Grandad to read “The night before Christmas”.

Keys and Reindeer food for Santa

 

Thought for the Day

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there………….

 

 

…………..He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

 

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!” ~ Clement Moore
