Even Stormtroopers, it seems, like to get into the Christmas spirit, although this one looks as though he's just been caught by a snowball causing him to spill his hot chocolate!
The children also continue to get excited about Christmas, this evening there was disproportionate excitement over the arrival in the street of the Rotary Club Santa collecting for charity. He's clearly an imposter, on a sleigh, pulled by a tractor, accompanied by very loud Christmas music but every year the children get so very excited, it's a now a other Christmas tradition that can't be missed! Secretly like him too, he always gets a friendly welcome at our door!
