My neighbour asked if I could be Santa for the local Church's Christmas party; I don't remember Santa have balloons on a stick but what you gonna do? I had to walk 50 yards down the road dressed as Santa as they wanted me to arrive independently from the adults organising the party.
First task was to distribute sweets to all the kids.

There were even some nuns at the party.There was a bag of presents for all the children and only one boy cried because his present wasn't big enough. Another boy asked if I was from England but I explained I was from the North Pole. There was even a gift for Santa for making the long journey from the North Pole.
Half the kids went to the church Sunday school and the other half were from a local orphanage.
My neighbour, Angela, who took the photos, explained that Santa needed the photos for his website; one of the kids immediately quipped that the address must be http://www.santaclaus.com/ but it turns out they were just for moodymowlam.

Xmas Party

The office block I work in has a bar set-up on the roof, all be it that it's just for private functions. The bar was hired for our work Xmas party and I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to turn out. There was a schedule for the party that stated that drinks weren't going to be served for the first 45 minutes and after which there would be games; I turned up 45 minutes late and didn't notice the games as I was too busy drinking beer & chatting. The food menu was made up of confusing looking bites including battered chillies, prawns, fish and curried pastries. I found my niche at the bar and settled in for the night.
Hey DJ pump that party.Towards the end of the night I'd drunk a sufficient number of beers to let my hair down and get my groove on to some Sinhalese/Sri Lankan tunes.
