Shorty and Griller spot Santa When Shorty got back, I were sat on the edge of the sleigh watching the holly where we’d last seen Santa.

You’re s’posed to have been watching.” He blinked furiously … Continue reading Following Santa

Christmas Day in the Snow

December 14, 2021December 12, 2021 ~ Cathy Cade ~ Leave a comment

Following Santa Santa Nick was dozing under the furs as Rudolph led the sleigh home after another busy Christmas delivery. Nick was shattered, but a month’s hibernation would fix that. With young Nicky still learning the business, there were decades of festive seasons to go before the youngster took over as Santa. Santas weren’t immortal. … Continue reading Christmas Day in the Snow

Where Does Santa Spend Christmas?

December 9, 2021November 19, 2021 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 2 Comments

More Griller and Shorty Shorty gazed into the patch of sky framed by the top of the skip. I could tell he were thinking hard, so I kept quiet. “Where does Santa spend Christmas?” Was it a trick question? Lookin’ for clues, I followed Shorty’s eyes. They were blinking as they followed a passenger drone … Continue reading Where Does Santa Spend Christmas?

October 13, 2021October 13, 2021 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 19 Comments

I went shopping today... ,,,, Am I the only one picturing some gremlin, logged into Twitter, fingers on keyboard, deciding what shopping panic to instigate next? ,,,,,,,, ......................... This time of year, I've often wondered who on earth buys their Christmas turkey in October, when the supermarkets start upping their stock. But the empty freezers … Continue reading Just a quickie…
