Meeting Father Christmas

The girls were thrilled to meet Father Christmas at Kirkcaldie and Stains recently. He was really authentic. Charli had a massive beam on her face for ages afterwards. She was really overwhelmed and her big eyes were glazed over with wonder. Sophie was also in total awe. Sooooo cute!

And what did they ask for?

Charli: The game ‘Mouse Trap’ and a beautiful painting.

Sophie: A drum kit, threading beads and a Hi 5 DVD.

They wished him safe travels as they left and wanted to know how he got round the world in one night…
ah, that’s the magic of Christmas!

Today they both received a letter from the man himself (in reply to their letters)…

I love the ‘P.S.’ at the end, ‘Be sure to get to bed early Christmas Eve. Last year I had to stop by your home three times before you were asleep.’
(Click on the photo to see it bigger – it’s such a gorgeous letter)

As Sophie went to sleep tonight she said, ‘Oh Mummy, it’s so hard to sleep when I’m so excited. I am thinking of the number 4 door and the chocolate waiting inside for me!’

Both the girls were actually really good at going to sleep last Christmas Eve (with the gentle reminder that Father Christmas wouldn’t visit till they were fast asleep).
