I don’t actually remember finding out – I am wondering if my perception of santa just changed. My family is hugely into christmas, we have hardly any extended family so it’s normally five of us, 6 at a push, most presents are from santa, we all get stocking from santa, even if they are delivered by various different people.

Maybe the lies aren’t that bad or even lies, maybe the lesson is something about giving without necessarily getting credit for it, or believing in magic or something equally as sentimental, maybe it helps us believe there are plain old good people out there. I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many sad santa stories before this year, but I just can’t add to them, I think that lie is now worse than any lie we tell ourselves as adults or children tell themselves about the world to make it seem like a better place (or to make it a better place).

Ha ha or maybe I’m just still pretending to believe and milking the parents ;)

I switched to Feedburner a ittle while back – which seems more complicated than the WordPress RSS feed. I just had a look at it just now and can’t figure out why the issue, so I’ll revisit in the New Year.
Happy New Year

Like your blog over the last few months. Just one problem with the recent change to you RSS feed. Now whenever you do a new post all the last 8 entries or so in your feed get reset and appear to have changed.

Happy new year.
