As Christmas Eve is nearly upon us, I thought I would re-post the thread @viridis posted nearly 10 days ago, as it has gotten a bit lost down the pages, and is such a good idea for anyone who has young children:

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-topic/handy-santa-hint-for-parents-of-young-kiddies/m-p/828710#M437...

 

On a separate note, @Cleoriff also mentions the following link in that thread, but I thought I would re-post that as well. I'm sure many people know of it. It's a good thing to have if parents are having to deal with getting their over excited kids to bed on Christmas Eve, because as we all know, Santa won't come to a child's house if they're still awake. This tradition began in 1955, long before the internet, but it's come into its own in this age:

A Merry Christmas to all slight_smile

Of course !!....I've always suspected my wife puts the presents around the tree so this year I'm determined to get to the truth wink

I've been looking all week and apart from a brief "possible" glimpse through the clouds it has generally been too cloudy to see anything - Hoping the skies will be clearer tonight though slight_smile
