OMG!

Wish I could show you the video I have just been sent by an old friend but it has her picture in it.

It is a personalised message from Santa and had me smiling until the jolly fellow came out with the line "Try and make sure you keep your house clean this year. I will know. I am watching."

Or something like that. I was so gobsmacked the actual sentence fell out of my memory.

He's clearly not content with wielding his power to force good behaviour from small children around the world with the lure of sparkly wrapped gifts, now he wants the grown-ups to toe the line too. Santa has gone too far this time!; 6 December 2010 12:49 pm
