Jingle Bells

Nursery Christmas party. I honestly don't know how the staff cope with 22 kids jacked up on sugar and Christmas cheer eagerly anticipating the arrival of Santa. Parents were asked to arrive at 11.20 to see their child receive their gift from the man in red and after several, increasingly deafening, renditions of Jingle Bells he dutifully appeared with his sack. The children all sat very patiently until their name was called to receive their gift and even manged to restrain themselves from ripping off the wrapping until everyone had their parcel. Minions one and five were both delighted with their Toy Story annuals until they clocked that some of the other kids had scored Peppa Pig ones instead. Toy Story annuals were then dismissed as boy books and all Christmas cheer was forgotten as a relentless bout of whingeing commenced. Minion number one then insisted on going back for her plate of party food as she (correctly) suspected she may have left a chocolate finger and a few stale hula hoops. Christmas is definitely coming.
