Quietly easing
himself down the chimney,
careful to not
dislodge too much soot,
he landed gently on
the hearth of the fireplace.
“Oh bugger, I forgot the sack” he whispered up the
chimney.
The sack was thrown
down
and the robber filled
it with the family’s presents from under the tree
before exiting the
door!
Sorry were you expecting Santa?? LOL

Doh!!
Ouch! A seasonal warning there. :)
Great story and it got me thinking.
I've often wondered how Santa has avoided being shot while doing his rounds here in the United States. While I own a pistol it is secretly and very safely tucked away making it impossible to retrieve without producing a lot of noise.
Cannot say the same about many other gun owners I know, in fact some of them are rather eager to shoot a burglar. Sort of makes Santa's job a lot harder if you ask me.
Oh no! What a disappointment when they wake up in the morning. You are very ironic this Christmas.
I went to the video and had to click on it several times. Not sure what the problem is....
Glad you like it Cloudiax
Doh indeed Melanie!
Yes it is Lady's Life :(
Oh no, surely no-one would shoot Santa Beach!
Yes I suppose I am Bankerchick for a change. What video were you clicking on????

Nice one. although most had already been robbed - by the exorbitant prices for the presents ;-)
