Santa's little (French) helpers

Santa came to Carentan a week after his appearance in Wareham.  However, he has now teamed up with three reprobates, who delight in children, cameras and chaos.

Perhaps the fact that they are only partially sighted is the root of the problem.  Puss-in-boots is constantly fighting with the bear, and the enormous rabbit (with the enormous ears) creates havoc with Xmas decorations which he simply doesn't notice until it is much too late.

Next year they ought really to be equipped with white sticks ..... but to what effect?
