Me & my siblings posing with a very scary looking Santa.
I'm the one on the right. |
I was checking the stats on my blog this morning, and noticed to my surprise that the most read "post" of mine was the one from December 2010 entitled "HAPPY XMAS". Now why are people so obsessed with a Xmas "post" written almost two years ago, when it actually wasn't a very long post at all. Then I studied the "traffic sources" of the views and discovered that a lot of people are googling "Xmas" and "Xmas Pictures". So I thought why not post something about the festive season? Afterall my local Checkers is already selling festive stuff like fake Xmas trees, tinsel and other decorations. They've even "decked the halls with boughs of holly" so to speak, what with their Xmas decor draped all over the place, and it's still more than 2 months to go. I'm now waiting for SABC to start broadcasting those Andy Williams Xmas Specials, and the other reruns that they have just to save money so that their board members get big fat Christmas bonuses! And that's not all, wait for the milkman and the road sweeper, even the postman, to come knocking on your door asking for a Christmas donation of sorts. I know it's the time for giving but surely the donation should be given to the poor, hungry and homeless? Just asking. Somehow I don't expect to see the fake Santa's in the malls and departmental stores til two weeks before Xmas. Yes kids, the real Santa employs these people to do his dirty work for him, as he cannot be in two or more places at the same time. Father Christmas is real, kids, and he's married to Mary Christmas, his beloved wife of over 100 years. Wow! That's a long time to be married. Enough of these useless facts, I have some early Xmas shopping to do, so until next time. Have a fun filled day!
