That might be a tad difficult. You'll probably end up with funny shaped flakes.

Inspired by caretaker endeavours I think I’ll make some sausage rolls with it.

Well, I finish up work today, back home to Norfolk tonight for 2 weeks. Christmas avatar selected in honour of the occasion.

Merry Christmas folks!

Should Santa leave presents at the end of the bed or just leave the presents under the tree when he visits?
When I was growing up Santa left presents in my bedroom. The US tradition seems to be just to leave them under the tree.

Depends how many drinks he's had and whether he can get up the stairs....

Ours were always beside our bed or hanging off the end, as kids, then a couple of presents under the tree from parents / siblings.

Now I hang the stockings on the doorknoba, lol. (it's hard to sneak in without waking people!)

Ours were always in our parents bedroom but with stockings left in our bedroom filled with stuff to keep us occupied until a more reasonable time...like 6.30am :lol:

In our house he left them in the front room. Aka the best end, the front parlour. What poncey southerners would call the leeownge.
