Tinned Toms - You know it makes sense!
Went with your idea of a letter Johnny, it went down a treat. We had a small door that the elf came through with a load of fake snow around it that had elf's footprints in it. Looking forward to him getting uo to a bit of mischief now. Seeing as your an experienced hand at this elf on the shelf business Johnny, a few ideas would be gratefully received.

My eldest last night: 'Dad, we know Santa isn't real. We just pretend so that he, YOU, keep bringing presents'.
I'm going to have to step it up.

Ideas from last year
A tug of war with super hero figures
A makeshift hot tub with some dolls
Swinging on the chandelier with a speech bubble saying "i came in like a wreckingball!"
A treasure hunt (this one is my favourite) put a clue at the top of their stairs and each one leads to the next until they find buddy and some chocolates.
Trapped by darth vader.
Got revenge on darth vader
I will try and think of some more we did

Going back a few years my eldest did the whole Santa isn't real thing and we just trotted out the same platitudes but knew the game was up.finlaymcdanger wrote:My eldest last night: 'Dad, we know Santa isn't real. We just pretend so that he, YOU, keep bringing presents'.

However the following year he went back to believing in him again, so I asked him about it and after a bit of interrogation I got out of him that the kids at school had told him you didn't get as many presents when you don't believe in Santa so if you pretend to believe in him you'll get more.
Kids are a lot smarter than we think.

Im dreading this happening. My lad is 7 now and with kids the way they are today this may well be the last one. My worry though is him spoiling it for his little sister who is 3. I dont think he would intentionally.

my lad still believes (i think) and he's 9, i'm going to have to break it to him soon. Can't have him turning up for secondary school still believing
My Daughter is 5 so i'm like Johnny in wondering whether my oldest will spill the beans and spoil ot for her

Probably inevitable that he will be the one to spill the beans to her one day, johnny. In my experience the young 'uns are more inclined to just tell on their older sibling and believe Mum and Dad though. My youngest started writing his Christmas wish list to Santa in June.

Thanks for ruining my Christmas, you set of bastards.....

Yeah, JOHNNY! Add a *spoiler alert* to the title before you ruin it for someone else.

My little niece was potty about the movie 'Babe'. As a veggie,I wasn't having any of it,and explained to her where her bacon came from.
My sister-in-law's life became hell from that moment on,and she's never forgiven me.
My niece,however,is now a happy and healthy veggie.

You may have to turn off your ad blocker to view the gallery. A few ideas here though.

You need to sort that little red bastard out, mate; he's taking you for a ride.
Those chocolates should be for your kids, ffs!
I'd suggest this:
Or a shovel over his little, bastard head.
Which could also then be used to scoop his remains up and deposit them in the bin.

Agreed.
That's not someone I would be happy to allow access to my children's bedrooms.
Looks a bit shifty to me.
And his body language suggests that he's saying "Yeah, fine...stick me here if you like, in an awkward position with me arm stuck up in the air like I've broke it and it's not healed properly and now I've got a gammy arm but I'll get my own back back when you're in bed, ya bastard!
"My plastic arse is getting rubbed right across your fizzog, matey boy!"
"You didn't close the kids' door, did you? Ha haaah, dickhead!"
It might take me a while, what with my tiny plastic legs an' all bit you're getting my shiny bum in your face."
"Smell my plastic!"
Or summat.....I dunno......I'm drunk.
