And what about Santa?

Neet, the mother mentioned in the previous post, now has another problem.

The Eldest is a lovely child, apart from the usual teenage strops. Child Dawkins is still an atheist, but it's the youngest who's causing a stir now.

He is scared Father Christmas in any shape or form.

Neet had been checking out suitable venues for his first meeting with Santa, but the nursery he attends had already sorted out a guest appearance. She arrived at nursery to find Youngest in floods of tears.

"I don't like Santor, he's 'orrible" (proper little Manc, is Youngest).

Youngest is 2, going on 15 and normally a robust and happy little soul, who missed seeing Santa last year because Neet couldn't trust him to behave in the queue. Child Dawkins tried to help him out.

"It's only someone helping, he doesn't sound anything like the real Santa."

She might not know the Voice of God, but she knows her Santa. Sounds a lot like Grandad...
