I look forward to reading actual facts now, rather than a lot of nonsense spouted portayed as fact.
Perhaps you could enlighten me on this ?
I wasn't aware that my postings were nonsense, was under the impression they were facts. Thought this was supposed to be the opportunity to share experiences and facts as we have been told them. Perhaps Christmas is celebrated differently in villages than in cities. Not sure this forum is what I expected, not a lot of humour that's for sure. Maybe I have got my red knickers in a twist afterall.

My reply that you quoted was an answer to Fortaleza`s post stating about a lot of nonsense being posted as fact.
You are right and it is an opportunity to share experiences and facts, a lot of which are posted by Spanish members and expat members that are living in Spain, and I am sure know the facts of spending Christmas here.
I cant see why Fortaleza has got a problem with people as to the way they spend Christmas.
Its not really the ideal way to join a forum and then tell everybody they have been posting nonsense.

Quite, thankyou. Happy Christmas to everyone regardless of what they think of it and how it is spent.

That's truly amazing, dazzle! Santa must be exercising the reindeer!

I always though they had a very big meal of baked beans before they started off, to give them the extra jet power to travel as fast as they must do. :scared: , maybe give rudolph a few beers to get his nose redder as well.

Alas he didn't have his reindeer with him, but he did have lots of little helpers, all shaking buckets and asking for donations. It seems even Santa feels the pinch at this time of year!

Perhaps it's another sign of the commercialism of christmas - or maybe he was just lending the local Lions Club a hand with their Christmas charity appeal!!

Either way the kids love it

Buckets for the oats to feed the reindeer, dazzle!

Nope, I'm sober!
