My mother calls it a "blob" too so you are in good company. I am THRILLED that people are reading me in NZ, it has made my day. Keep up the good work of keeping Christmas alive and kicking out there. Another good one if you run out of sheep dung, although that is unlikely considering your whereabouts, is Santa footprints in talcum powder "snow" on the landing, stairs etc. Hello Heather and welcome to the site!

I confess that I am also 47 with teenaged children, enjoying an Antipodean Christmas - and have until recently persisted in celebrating with half-eaten reindeer carrots! When there were signs of non-belief creeping in (especially with the older ones)I extended myself to collecting and scattering sheep dung (close enough to deer poo) as proof of visits in the night. I don't think reindeer are possible to hire in NZ, so the subterfuge stops there. The kids have worked out what's going on long ago, but still insist on putting out the stockings!

As one of the wierdos, I'm so very glad your Mummy writes, as she tends to brighten up grey days and gloomy evenings (the nothing-on-the-TV-and-I-can't-be-bothered-to-move evenings) or when in a contemplative mood (look it up), gets me thinking, which is often a good thing. Well, usually. Merry Xmas, all! A bientôt! I’m reading this on the 24th… so have a good Xmas Eve, all, and thanks for this post Alexia it was marvelous!
