The Best ‘Cor Blimey’ Eyes...

At the Royal Pavilion Brighton, the children are asked what they would like from Father Christmas.

My Niece (aged 4) hiding in her Mummy's arms:
An egg cup and some hand cream.

My Nephew (aged 6), after announcing "Now, this may sound a little unusual":
Panpipes and a water park (waterfall and river included).

Rhinos will be requested later.

Later, in the car, it sinks in. A wide-eyed nephew: "Why did the Elf hug you Aunty Ellie?"

It pays to have friends in high places. We were all tickled pink by the experience.

I have never enjoyed surprising the Elf and the Little Uns so much.

They wear the best ‘Cor Blimey’ Eyes...

Don't you think that revealing that you were friends with santa's helper might have blown the illusion for the children. That seems a bit elfish.

Boom Boom!

Elfish.... Ho Ho Ho! I don't understand the joke though.

I was out with Father Christmas, Mrs Christmas and the Elf last night, watching Holiday on Ice. For real. The big man even made a bad pun about being committed. What's the illusion?

Read FATHER CHRISTMAS
GOES ON HOLIDAY by Raymond Briggs. It's bloomin' marvellous.
