Nice one JD lets hope the Saints start winning a bit more in the new year. :D

I would also like to wish forum members and the Mods a lovely Christmas and a prosperous New Year. :cheers:

After buying my dream home back here in Blighty i need to work and save hard and hopefully come over for a month next October it seems a million miles away at the moment, but look forward to meeting friends old and new i am gutted that i can not make this forum bash.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Mods for another good year on the forum, sterling job chaps. :thumb:

Kendo Palini and baby Amelie. :cheers:

"DEAR ADMIN: I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
"Papa says, 'If you see it on Hua Hin Forum it's so.'
"Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

"VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
"115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET."

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Merry Christmas all from rain-sodden England...

Santa has this year traded his sleigh for water skis..

Ever since the first week of April when they introduced a hosepipe ban it has pissed down - and there's no end to it - this has to be the wettest year of all time - springs are erupting (literally) where no spring has ever been seen before, and in at least one case, where no-one can work out where the f#%& the water is coming from to feed it - the nearest higher ground being over five miles away..

And in this, the supposedly driest part of the UK, we're forecast another fortnight's rain tonight..

Anyway, so long as Heathrow doesn't descend below the waves in the next week, I shall be back in sunny (hopefully...) Thailand in time to join in the New Year celebrations..
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly...

That was a message sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company. :wink:

I remember introducing my son to 'Santa' for the first time. He cried and refused to sit on his lap (must have been Jimmy Saville). Never could get him in to one of those grottos. My Thai 'daughter' is very different. Very excited and loves decorating the tree, the Christmas songs, the presents (of course) and the family dinner. She wants to know why I don't wear the turkey on my head like Mr Bean!
