Despite my last posting dear readers, i managed to slip out of the workshop for a few hours before the big night.
I ended up talking to a lovely bunch of children, most of whom were on my nice list, though a couple should of been recieving coal this year.
anyhow. for those that read this and wonder if Santa is real, i thought i would let you know this story...
I can assure you all, it really happened just as i am about to tell.........
On Saturday, I became The Santa for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, in Knightsbridge, London.( opposite Harvey Nicks) Over 3 hours, I got to meet 97 children, each one full of the joys of the Season, and E numbers. I had a good hit count with my Naughty and nice cold read. ( I tell the child that they have been a little naughty, then appear to tell them what they did, and when they did it) In truth, they tell me what they did. Or at least that they did something. One child, blurted out that the week before, he had stolen another kids chips off his plate, whilst they were under the table. You’d of thought he had committed murder. It was funny. Now, the next child came along. She was about 4 years old, and full of confidence. And this dear reader was the Unbelievable thing that happened…. I was holding a wrapped parcel. I had no idea what was inside. What would you like for Christmas? A teddy bear What colour bear? Umm… A white one A white polar bear? Oh yes there lovely.. Is it a little girl, or a little boy Bear? A little girl Does she have a ribbon around her neck? Yes, a red one. And, what’s the name of the bear? Chloe. I then repeated the information back to Daddy, just to make sure he got it. I then handed over the gift saying, don’t open it until Christmas. She walked off happy. The next child came along. She was the same age, and the present was the same thing. Ashe turned away, she opened her gift. And out of the wrappings fell a toy, white polar bear, wearing a pink hat, and a red ribbon around its Neck. The first little girl will be so happy Christmas….Daddy might be shocked too! Late on, I discovered that every child that asked for a bratz doll, received a bratz doll. I also discovered that the toys were not ordered in for the individual child, they came from a warehouse, pre wrapped. Even the staff didn’t know what was inside the wrappers. And this, dear friends is my Christmas Miracle for this year. 97 kids, all receiving a random gift from Santa, and each gift, what they asked me for. I should be on channel 4! ( Move over Derren Brown !)
