I must be on his list, no time to be bad. I hope he is OK. I haven't seen him in here yet.
Anyone?

No, I haven't seen him yet either.

Perhaps there is someone here who has been naughty - if so please own up. Have you all been good this year?

Perhaps we can all put our gift requests in for him so that he knows what we want. Obviously sensible gifts (that is gifts that money can buy even if rather expensive), he isn't going to be able to give world peace and a cure for cancer.

I shall start...


I have been good Santa so can you bring me some Miyuki 11/0 Delica beads and some size 10 Tulip beading needles (sorry to be fussy but I only like the Tulip brand). Oh, and if you have any spare, my car is more than 10 years old so you could give me a new one, just a small one will be perfect. Thank you so much.

For the last two years Santa has sent me very interesting calendars of local post Office Staff from a foreign land. A very worthy cause, but apparently they are no longer complying and the Firemen are probably a bit busy. So I was wondering if Santa could find me one, as I need some eye candy at work. The local insurance companies are deadly boring. Not a nude Warwick University oarsman in sight.
I have, as I said, been exceptionally good.
PS I had another thought. How about a special nude calendar from FT members? All for a good cause. Good idea?

Ho, ho, ho!

I am going to have to make this a quick visit, I am so, so busy, but then in December this is always the case.

Now come along boys and girls (when you are as old as me then even the venerable Aunty Ren is merely a girl) let me have your Christmas lists and I will see what my elves can conjure up for you.

Although it is such a busy time I will do my best to pop in to see you all again before I set out on my travels.

Perhaps someone can ask that ISS to keep off my orbit this year, we almost had a dreadful collision last year but fortunately my trusty reindeer managed to swerve in time. I bet it gave those spacemen a bit of a shock though to see us whizzing by.


Ho, ho, ho and back to the the elves, they are all working overtime at the moment, probably dreaming of what they will be spending all their extra pay on this year, all inclusive vacations/holidays seem to be a bit popular.

You'll be all right with the ISS this year, Santa - there's a Brit on board now and he knows which side of the road is the right one, which would be the left one.

I must have been a naughty Santana this yearv: instead of lovely shiny new Windows in time for Christmas, I have a gaping hole in the wall, and a gale-force breeze ... when the rain isn't pouring in! I shall, therefore, ask for a few dry pre-christmas days, so that my new French doors can be installed in time for the festivities

A little to the left...right...

Driving on the right is compulsory, and safer...you're asking for suicide to drive on the left...

Ho, ho, ho again.

What a measly lot you are this year, hardly anyone seems to want a gift from me this year. I shall give you a little longer to ponder as to what I might pop in your stocking, if you don't come up with some ideas you will all get a lemon and a piece of coal.

Oh no, Santa, not a lemon! I should like a unique magic mouse that goes at least ten times faster than I can in FT's timed games. I have been quite a good rabbit and eaten all my veggies, although I did put the carrots in a cake first.

A lemon and a piece of coal. Well, at least that's more than I own now.

There is much I want for fun or frivolity. I'll settle for what I need.

I know I don't post here on the forums as I used to do, but I would like Santa to bring all my friends on the Forum everything that they could wish for. As for myself, I wish for health and happiness for my nearest and dearest! xxx
