A Thrill For Santa

Santa went to “The Light” by the river A new place on his list to deliver, Then was tempted with samples of fruit By the belles in this house of repute. ------------------------------------ Christmas Chastushka Contest Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich Placed 3rd © 22nd December 2020

Congrats Paul, a fine win, Santa seems to have become a bad boy - I think this is really funny, I've read alot this Christmas season. The children are becoming cleverer each year, shortly by a year old they will cry when they see Santa, at a mall, he is a foreigner who doesn't belong. Well penned my friend, warm wishes and hugs. Jennifer.

Thank you, Jenny. I think modern children are subjected to a lot of fake news and indoctrination from a young age! Their best formative years are being taken away from them. ~ Happy new year~~warm regards & hugs my friend. // paul

I do hope Santa never gave in to temptation, he’d have gone down in the people’s estimation. A fun write Paul, congratulations on your winning placement. Belle :-)

We certainly have to give him the benefit of the doubt, Belle :) In fact I would bet on his loyalty to Mrs Claus! ~ Best regards and all the best for the new year. // paul

Thank you, Andrea. Pleased to be on your winners' list :) Santa should have known from the name of the place that he was in for 'delight' (“The Light”)! Enjoy this special day of Christmas with your dear ones! // paul
