Not really sure but the one with the pink bow tie definitely has an axe behind his back.

And the Santa with the black mono brow !!
I have now had to put something extremely awesome to look at, in my own sig, to counteract it!

We took the kids to see Santa yesterday. We've been to the same place a couple of times before. The whole thing is done really nicely. Lots of trees with lights on, drama students prancing about pretending to be elves, a log cabin decked out as a grotto, big fat man (probably *****) dressed up as Santa. So the kids enjoyed it until Stan Jr (ten years old) opened the present that Santa had given him. It was a battery operated police car that drives around in circles playing music. The box blurb said it was recommended for ages 3+ and that it was "the best friend during the children's growth up" (very popular in the Midlands apparently). I accosted an elf and asked whether it was a joke. He admitted I wasn't the first person to comment that at £20 a person (person, not child), the organisers could have perhaps invested a few more pennies in the boys' gift. Bizarrely the girls' gift was very age appropriate and appreciated.

Stan Jr took it on the chin. After he'd opened the present and examined it he sarcastically said "Merry Christmas".

Disclaimer: Christmas isn't just about presents. It's also about getting drunk, eating loads, realising how much you dislike certain relatives and extra bang bang time with Mrs Stan

I've dodged taking mini luv to see santa as my mum wanted to go, Brecon Mountain Railway do a polar express type thing which is quite well done. But going up a ****ing mountain on a freezing cold train isn't my idea of fun.
