I know this is so not anything to do with the Cure...but, with the sadness around us ( the school shooting) I thought I'd let you know that Father Christmas, Santa, Saint Nick, whatever you like to call him... arrived in Adelaide, South Australia this weekend.( I watched this on television, as I live in the country, not in the city) The yearly pageant which marks his arrival was as beautiful as ever, and at the end of the all the floats, the one person all the thousands of kids had come to see, appeared.To see their little faces light up, smiles from ear to ear, waving madly and calling out to him, touched my heart. The sweetest of innocence. I am not here to debate the commercialism of Christmas, the "true" meaning or anything like that at all. It's nice to know that Santa really does exsist...just ask the little children who welcomed him into our city, their faces alight, their smiles wide and their hearts happy.

I remember how much I enjoyed waiting for Santa when I was little. I used to leave a plate out of cookies and a glass of milk. Good memories. :)

haha...yeah, we did that too...I remember one christmas eve ( I was about 6 years old) we had been visiting friends. On the way home, I looked up into the night sky, and passing overhead, was a 'plane. Now, in my mind, that flashing red light was actually Rudolphs' nose, and I urged my Dad to get home quickly, as Santa was obviously on his way! I raced into my bedroom and tried desperately to go to sleep, but with the knowledge that Santa was imminent, I couldn't settle, such was my excitement. This was so long ago, it seems like another lifetime but sometimes, it is lovely to recount these occasions in your life.

So, I have until then to demonstrate that I've been good all year & maybe I'll get something nice for xmas (not that I actually want anything other than to know all my friends & family are ok (including you lot on the forum)) :-D

He's makin' a list, and checking it TWICE, so make sure you behave! Oh yeah, and no pouting, crying, etc. or you'll be OFF that list so quick it'll make your head spin!! AND he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake!! Amazing isn't it? kinda creepy really...BUT I am a believer!! ( maybe it's all those elf like creatures he has checking up on everyone, and they are REAL tell tales, let me tell ya!!)Now, where's that fly-swatter..... :-D
