I got a email the other day from the children's old nursery. It's been a few years since the youngest left, but we were always close with them (and tried to help when I could). The email was asking for the help of a man, a rather large man with a white beard...
After I got over the fact that I was potentially big and old enough to fill his shoes, I agreed!
It was only a quick visit, long enough to sit down in nursery and give out some presents. A lovely moment though. I came back afterwards into the nursery, without the costume, and had a good catch up with them all as well as they tidied away after their Christmas party. It was always such a good nursery which put play and happiness first rather than making it a mini school (the reason we liked it). Part of me really misses the kids being that age, shame my wife won't let me have any more!
Anyone else dressed as the "big man" lately?
A job you probably become more qualified to do each passing year.
ReplyDeleteYes! Almost a sad fact that one!
DeleteNot lately, not ever, lol. But I could probably pass for his Mrs.
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely day a few weeks ago where we met with Mr and Mrs Claus and they read the children some stories. It was really rather good.
DeleteHo-ho-ho! You did good, Santa! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHaha, it was all going good until my trousers almost fell down, need a bit more bulk at least.
DeleteNot for years Kev, although, I certainly have the moustache and (I think) the possibility for the beard once my hair finally turns. Good on you!
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of "salt and pepper" in my beard already and I'm not 40 yet!
DeleteAnother string to your bow.
ReplyDeleteHaha! yes maybe, although not one I hope to use too often!
