My older sister still leaves a filled sock at the end of her son’s bed when he visits at Christmas, and he’s 40 now.

I think the hardest thing about doing the Santa gig is the teenage girls who sit on your lap and try to get you to rise to attention.

That Santa looks a bit like Corporal Jones from Dad’s Army.

I would have contributed a forum Santa photo, but fsm would have none of my suggestion to get our photo taken on Santa’s knee at the local shopping centre on Saturday. harumph

Being the voice of reason is not a part-time thing.

;-)

My daughter got a part time gig doing the Santa photos. There was one guy who got right into it. He wears a Santa ring and a great big Santa belt buckle. He used to have a Citroen curly van with a Santa number plate too.

Saw a tshirt which read, “I’m not Santa but you can sit on my knee”.

In festivus we are sharing.

• I think the hardest thing about doing the Santa gig is the teenage girls who sit on your lap and try to get you to rise to attention.

I tread carefully, realising these are the daughters of a forum member, but as the sign above “santa” says, it was probably his high point for 2019…

I don’t suggest that sibeen’s offspring might do that, merely relating some of my experience in the job.

ABC News:

Israel’s ambassador to Thailand says ignorance is to blame after photos emerged of two men posing as Nazi military officers in a busy Bangkok mall.

A photo published by online news website Stickboy Bangkok shows two men of Asian ancestry atop a Christmas-themed platform sponsored by Mastercard at central Bangkok’s CentralWorld mall.

They were giving the thumbs-up while dressed in the military regalia of Nazi Germany.

What the fuck?! Just whose brilliant fucking idea was this for a bit of Yuletide marketing?

I’ve heard the Nativity story a few times now, and i really can’t recall one where the Wehrmacht put in an appearance.

The Wehrmacht also put in an appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

They’ll be taking over Islam next.

Santa was trapped in my woodheater but I managed to prise him out and escort him from the premises. He didn’t have anything for me anyway. He seemed very drunk.

Out there somewhere I imagine, that’s his problem. I wash my hands of any further involvement.

I’ll be wandering bedwards shortly. A bro-in-law will be driving me to the little local hospital for a new dressing at about 11 tomorrow, then we’re heading to Ross where my youngest sister will be preparing a tasty Christmas dinner.

Spalding Jr. donated $100 to the NSW RFS, and has said that, as a Xmas gift, he’d like us to do the same.

Will do, a bit later today.

Haven’t met up with this Christmas carol before.

Christmas in the Scrub

Leigh Newton © 1983

C F 1. At Christmas time the birds all sing C D7 G The rabbits jump, the lizards crawl C F At Christmas time the outback rings C G C All for the birth of God

Chorus
G For the birth of God, the wallabies hop
C For the birth of God, the cockatoos squawk
G For the birth of God, the platypus swims
C For the birth of God, the kookaburra laughs
F For the birth of God was such exciting news
C G Am
They’d never heard before
C G/B Am
They came from all the land
F G C
To see this baby in the straw.

F C 2. And if you were there you would have heard D7 G The wise old kangaroo “Oh, I’ve starved in droughts, I’ve swum the floods, “I’ve hopped around, both up and down, “Through hills and plains I’ve never seen “Such a baby in the straw.”

3. And if you were there you would have heard
The wise little bandicoot.
“Oh, I’ve snuffled and fossicked the midnight scrub
“I’ve been in logs and fogs and bogs,
“Well bless my days, I’ve never heard
“Of a baby in the straw.”

4. And if you were there you would have heard
The wise old noisy crow.
“Oh, I’ve flown this land, seen many a baby
“Born in burrows, trees and furrows,
“Yet this one outshines them all,
“This baby in the straw.”
