What can I say? The image of Santa dropping from the sky because deer cannot fly had me rolling with laughter. Congratulations on a first-place win, Jack!

Reads like a winner. Way to go. Poor --would be Santa. Dreams of Santa flying high disappeared with this highly confused man. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

I don't know whether I should be laughing or feeling sorry for the would be Santa, Jack! A lesson learnt, no doubt. Regards / paul

LOL! Nicely done! Obviously, he didn’t learn his lesson as a child, when he tried to pilate a “supercape”
