Where is Santa? And the official naughty and nice list...

Finally, Christmas Eve arrives and to encourage children to go to bed there is a website that tracks Santa's journey.  Noradsanta.org tracks Santa's journey with video clips featuring Mount Fuji, Sydney Australia and Egyption pyramids. 

 

There is an official time and very official sounding newsclips with some NASA styled commentary with beeps that give weight to its credibility.  Perfect for the doubters.  Apparently, the tracking of Santa has gone on for over 50 years and started by accident.  

 

It's very fun to prove that Santa is on his way.

On a less official website, emailsanta.com there is a naughty and nice list.  Answering a few questions helps the elves to determine what list you may be on for Christmas.  Lighthearted fun but the kiddies have taken to it and are quite concerned where they are listed.

 

Merry Christmas!

What to do this weekend? How about the drive-in movies?

Over the past few months Pinewood Studios transformed its water filming facility into a retro Drive-In showcasing some of the best films it has helped to create over the years, including Bridget Jones Diary, Harry Potter, Mama Mia, Slumdog Millionaire, Mission Impossible and Notting Hill.

Question time

As I pulled into the dreaded Sainsburys carpark at 4pm when all the other disgruntled and tired mothers of the day have decided it’s also a good time to zip in and buy milk, Eliza pipes up from the back seat…

For people such as myself who get lost easily. I’ll colour code the conversation. Eliza is Pink and I am Blue

Kids bored this Christmas? Put on a Panto!

Panto season has officially begun and to celebrate Robinson's has created Put On A Panto -- a cute web site that gives children everything they need to stage their very own Pantomime -- from planning, to practising to performing. It even includes invitations, posters and suggestions on making costumes.

Come on, I know you want to try it.
