Default First Xmas Gift

The last week of term, school closes on Friday, the day I don my red suit, white beard and black boots. Yes you have the game plan, the day I play Santa for the special needs kids.
This is also the week that the little ones give us little prezzies for Xmas.
Bless their little hearts. I am pretty good I don't open them till the 25th.
The husband of one of my passenger assistants works for Bentley's of Crewe. He travels the world visiting their repair/rebuild shops. This morning he gave me my first present. A carrier bag of Bentley goodies. No not a spare car, just a lapel badge, a key ring, 9 coasters and a genuine Bentley Xmas Card.

And now I'm watching a "How It's Made" programme on Sky all about the same firm.

Haha, agreed.

Nice one Ray! Did you have to put on 50 pounds or do you play healthy-eating slim-Santa?

I'm under SWMBO orders and only allowed to eat what she says so it is the slimline version.
Please don't tell her but the Special Needs School is putting on their annual mince pie lunch for us today.
I'll sort a photo after Friday, but please don't use it to keep the kids away from the fire.
