Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted January 2 (edited) 16 minutes ago, time said: jeez, never heard of spoiler tags??? Quote My neighbour ruined Santa for me when I was 7. She waited until the afternoon of Christmas Day to deliver my present. I saw her passing the window. Then my maw pretended Santa had arrived late. What do you know, the present was from Santa. It wasn't even a good present. It was a console called Zone 40 which was a blatant Wii knockoff. The games were terrible and it broke after a day, so it went in the bin and ruined the logistics of Santa in my head. Thanks, Edith. Ah well, that was meant to be a spoiler. Maybe I could make it really small if you're scared to read it Edited January 2 by Clorox Bleachman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,141 Posted January 2 No spoiler here, but when I was about seven, in all the excitement I missed a present that was at the bottom of the bag. My Dad went to the pub at lunchtime, and when he came back he told me that Father Christmas had been in the pub and had asked if I had liked the present (I don't remember what it was). I saw no reason to disbelieve this, ran upstairs at once and found the present that I'd missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
