Santa (Einar) sleighed into Estacion Cortes de la Frontera, Spain, this afternoon

He handed out presents to the local children

And then came my turn.

I sat on his knee.

It was then he hit me with a bombshell.

NO PRESENT FOR ME AS I HAD BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY !!

Moi !! Never !!

Do you think that I’ve been a naughty boy this year ??

I would like to add.

Whatever your circumstances.

Whatever country you live in.

Whatever political, religious or colour you are.

Please be kind to each other from now to the End of Days.

A very, very Merry Christmas

And a happy, happy New Year to you, my friends.

With all our love, blessings and hugs

Ralph, Samantha and Sonic (my cats) 🙂

Definition of naughty: fun loving, adorable, sits on Santa’s lap, makes his friends smile, party hardy, loves life, and reminds us to be kind to each other. Yeah, by that definition, you’re naughty. Wishing you lots of good cheer, good health, many many more good days and restful nights. Big cyber hug, Paulette

  Hello my friend 😀 I hope you have a Zzzzz Christmas and lots of time to relax and chill out.
  The Ferrari ….. oops…..package hasn’t arrived yet, I’m sure it will arrive soon 😀
  Einar has been quite busy as Santa. He met a few trains at the station and waved to the passengers and has/is visit/ed/ing a couple of other villages. I have a lot of respect for him to go out of his way like that. Have a lovely weekend. Ralph xox 😀

“10 seconds on Santa’s knee but no present. I don’t believe in Santa any more…” Ha ha, you’re so naughtily hilarious Ralph. Wish you a happy Christmas. We don’t celebrate Christmas here in Israel but part of my family in Germany does…. most important is, as you say, to be kind to each other. And enjoy the Ferrari. 😉

  Hi Heila my dear friend 😀 What a lovely comment. Thank you so much. 😀
  I am sure that you have plenty of great holidays in Israel to enjoy. When I was in the Army in Hongkong I’m surprised that we had any work days at all as we celebrated Gurkha, British and Chinese holidays.
  Oh, I don’t think a Ferrari will turn up on my doorstep. *looking out of the window* Just checking 😉
  If you ever need a bit of kindness to head your way, let me know Heila. Okay ?
  Big hug. Ralph xox 😀
