Classic effort on the sled marks and footprints, well done.

12 and female, 12 going on 30?

My 12 yr old has twigged and its taken the treat of NO presents to prevent him informing the 8 yr old of the "truth".

You are right it is all about the kids, friends and family, enjoy.

Love the "tyre" marks on the lawn. The big fellas was obviously in a hurry.

hope he doesnt make that much mess when he stopped at my place!!


haha- love it!

One year we even when to the trouble of collecting rabbit poo and placing it on the ground in formation as if it were reindeer poo.
When we went to grandma's later in the day, The excitement in their voices as they told her that Santa had dropped by and the reindeer had pooed in the front lawn was priceless.
Hey guzzi,
'12 and female, 12 going on 30? ' Hmmm What can ya say? HEEELLLPP ;)

Fab72 ya going to love this, When I asked the young fella why Sanaa's Sleigh would leave burn marks in the lawn,
'The grass is burned Dad because it's from the friction of the sled skipping across all the roof tops, He has a lot of kids to visit, besides Dad, he can land on our roof because of the solar panel, thats why he stopped on the lawn'
Priceless ;)

DOEY,
It took weeks for the Flour to break down and hose off the veranda LOL

When they started school the next year, it was awesome to listen to them tell their mates that Santa had left those marks.

The magic of Christmas on Kids faces is priceless.
I reckon it isn't about what you buy your kids/wife or family, is about the spirit of Christmas, Surprise, Joy and sharing.
And if you receive something that you had asked for, well thats just a bonus.

I hope everyone has an awesome Christmas and a safe/happy New Years.
Cheers Guys.

Cheers Guys

When I was about 9, I met Santa late one Christmas eve. My father had got dressed up as Santa for the school Christmas Fate, us kids came home early with mum, Dad had to stay and help with the packing up. He came home still dressed as Santa, he thought it would be pretty cool to go into each of us three kids rooms and place the presents in the pillow cases still dressed up.
Well, I got up to go to the loo, and I came back to find Santa putting presents in my pillow case, I startled him, he sat on my bed and patted it and ask me to sit with him, he told me he was early this year because he had soo many more kids to drop of presents to. He said he enjoyed the cookie and milk we had put out for him and then said he had to go. He left, I didn't hear him leave, but in the morning there were burn marks in the lawn and my brother and sister freaked out because they heard me talking to him.
Ya gotta keep the dream alive.

Thank you Anth, I hope you and all the EO family have an awesome Chrissy, a memorable New Years and a safe Holiday season

Life is good.

Love it Hairs and Fysh...and thanks for the great tips.

I have a M15 and a F13 that love getting involved in "keeping the dream alive" for our F5. It's now a bit of a competition as to who can come up with the best set up.

The cotton wool beard droppings, reindeer poop and biccy crumbs have been done to death, so I'm very thankful for the skid mark idea, and others.

Your kids are very switched on... friction off the roof tops. That's brilliant.

Thanks so much for your post.

Leading up to Christmas a friends father could never be bothered cutting the long grass that grew around the legs of the swing set. Unless you physically move the swing set. it never looks right.
Any way, each year it grew enough that Santas reindeer was able to get a feed while he was visiting.

Cheers Fab,
Yep, It doesn't matter what we do to keep the younger kids believing.
I like the way my eldest has an idea that just maybe there is something fishy about Santa, but just can't put Two & Two together yet about it, and she's not saying anything to the younger pair either because they are believers.

SDG,
It doesn't matter what it is that keeps the kids thinking 'Just maybe he is real" LOL.

And dads, don't forget to leave out a drink for Santa( Preferably Beer) and a couple of Carrots for his reindeer.
I hope this has given you a couple of ideas, the kids love it.
And to all you grown up Kids, that are getting really cool toys,
Your a bunch of dirty, dirty Luck y Buggers, Good onya's.
Have fun, travel safely and

Beer is apparently a no no now a days. I tried that last year, and the year before. Apparently it encourages drink driving. I tried to tell them Santa does not drive. it's the reindeer that do all the driving. Santa just steers. Kids turn around and told me I don't drive either. I just steer. The car does the rest. I wish.

Hi Jon

i think you have inspired me to make some footprints of my own!

We are spending christmas in a caravan park and have decorated the large pine tree next to our tent where the young bloke (3) can leave his stocking. i might just make some foot prints leading up to it from the road. he'll think its great.

thanks for the idea.


and once again, enjoy your christmas!

Mate,
A couple of years ago, At Evens Head, Silver Sands C/P a few of the parents made rabbit's paw marks all around the C/Park like a trail going from one camp site to the next. It was magic to see the kids follow these prints for hours on Easter Sunday. Even on the Monday the kids were still in groups walking around following them and chatting to themselves.

Good luck with it all, it is only limited by your imagination.
Have fun with it.
Have a safe one and enjoy it.
Cheers.
