Ringing my Grandchildren two weeks before Christmas, and saying that it is Santa on the line from the North Pole. ( speaking in a deep voice.) Them asking me if my Reindeers were all primed up and ready to go, and if the Elve's would make sure that there Toy's were in the bag.lol I love it. Tony Oz.

Well, we'll not have to wait too long. I doubt whether we'll get snow though. Usually comes before or after. I remember when the postman came on Xmas Day - poor postman, happy me! Our milkman was always a bit tiddly on Xmas Day as everybody would be offering him drinks. Sylvia xxx

Some of mine are. Carol singers singing just one line and knocking, then looking cherubic (talking of little one) Christmas buskers in town the smell of mince pies cooking Christmas lights Christmas cards = I love getting and sending them. White Christmas on TV Getting the decorations down from the loft and 'discovering' them all over again. Ann Glos

(with apologies to Good Housekeeping magazine for pinching their idea) What are the little things that make Christmas for you?
