It’s that most wonderful and important night of the year when we all gather together round the table in order to scribe our letter to Father Christmas.
It’s always an emotional occassion, evoking so many happy memories of Christmas’s past when we’ve settled down to do the exact same thing.
It’s also a subject that has been very much on our minds all through December, our most favourite month of the year …….
….. but once we finally sat down, we all confessed that we’d like to do the same as we’ve done for the past few years and ask Father Christmas once more for a surprise ……..
……. something we could all share, as let’s face it, we’re extremely blessed with a life where we really want for nothing …….
…….. and we have to say Father Christmas has never got it wrong in all those years ……..
……. he knows us soooooooooooooooooo well!
When we were all happy with what we had written, we cast our precious letter out on the “midnight wind”, even if it was only about half past eight. Then Darrell decided it was about time we broke open the Antiguan Skulduggery rum he’d had in his cocktail cabinet for the past four years, until now untouched as we were a little wary of its potency ……..
OMG …… thank goodness Darrell was, for once, frugal with his portion control! Let’s just say we slept very, very well, with dreams of all the things that Santa might bring! Happy days ………….,

I'm sure that Santa will come up with the perfect present for the three of you.
Don't leave any Antiguan Skullduggery out for the big man in red. He would be drunk in charge of a flying sleigh. I wonder if he has a pilot's licence.
Asking Father Christmas for a surprise is a lovely idea. The rum sounds strong enough to be medicinal grade alcohol!!

Sweet letter for Santa - and if one can't indulge at Christmas with a cheeky little rum or three when can one? Bottoms up! JantheFan x
