So what is going on around here and where does it happen? This section is for discussion on local events, festivals, and holidays as well as activities and things to do.
My brother volunteered for this last week at a community center in the USA. 68, overweight and grey, just like Santa should be. 400 children and 14 hours later he spent 2 days in hospital recovering from exhaustion and dehydration. Be careful all you Santa's out there! Pete

In my previous life as a photographer I was asked by the manager of a rather large Co-Op department store in Birkenhead {Merseyside UK} to take photos of the kids with Father Christmas. Father Christmas was a rather well-to-do retired man from one of the better areas of Wirral.
So you get the usual kids telling Santa that they'd been good boys/ girls and what they would like to get for Christmas etc etc.
Then it was the turn of a young lad about 7 years old. "And what would you like for Christmas?" Santa asks. To which the young man loudly replies "I f***ing told you what I wanted in f***ing Lewis's last Saturday"
Poor Santa didn't know what to say to that!
Priceless!!
And no his Mum didn't buy a photo.
