A thousand little Santa helpers spilling out across, along, and up and down our road, log-jamming it to much great ire from motorists reduced to hooting from the lay-by by our house -- ignored by Santa's little army shaking Gothic wooden boxes RATTLE, RATTLE, RATTLE, Sir! Your money or your life! All heralding the big, sleigh man himself -- a baubled, brightly fairy light lit, dressing gown-wrapped guy atop a sleigh that wobbled slightly as it took the tight right hander out of sight. I dashed out - well, I would, it's what you might expect - camera in hand, only to be thwarted by a Russian Sailor elfy thing, who said he knew me from way back. When we were through with chatting, his boss with the big sack of toys was no where to be seen.

Santa works in mysterious ways it seems, especially in small towns and villages.
Well, it seems that Russian Sailor elfy thing was a member of Santa's Secret Service, managing to deter the paparazzi-types like YOU! Ho ho ho.
Santa has a lot of kids to visit.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Dave!
ha, santa seems to be an equal opportunity employer...of course you wont get a pic...he's magic like that....smiles...
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
And another chance slips by. There is always next year. Perhaps you could lurk incognito so that Russian Sailor boys cannot even pretend to know you...
Gosh! No big wonder Santa survives all this while. It's no mean feat to accomplish what is required of him in one night. He sure had good helpers! Great take Dave! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!

The Elephant's Child
Mmmmm, I might just try that.

Guess that also explains why it was his sleigh had seen better days.
It appears your Russian sailor has been taking lessons from James Bond!
With an agent like him on the payroll, it's no wonder Santa is still such a mysterious character after all these years!!
Hehehe:D
