European Tribune - Comments - Boxing Day punch up material

Boxing Day punch up material | 232 comments (232 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

As I wrote recently, we're buying a new car, and informed the kids that it was a present for Christmas. This has led to some pointed questions or remarks from the two younger ones who, as far as we know, still believe in Santa Claus:

"How does Santa carry the car on its ludge"?
"If Santa is bringing us a car, why do we have to pick it up at the store?"

Re: Some lighter stuff (4.00 / 2)

oh that's easy, santa carries it under his sledge, tied between the runners. and if he deliverd it down your chimney, you wouldnt be able to get it out of the door to the street, so he had to deliver it down the stores chimney as they have big enough doors to get it out.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
