The Christmas jumpers are coming out next month so it must be getting near the time to discuss Santa.

Santa has died he had a bad hibernation

No tandem ? what on earth are we talking about then.
I will tell you dogs claws are the same Suze - don't do too much as they all retract a little.....Disappointing we can't talk santa claws yet...

And occasionally in amongst the madness, we seem to get back to the point , about cutting claws

I’ve decided as she is so close to hibernation now, I will leave it until next spring, to clip a bit more off, I don’t want to cause any infection now.

Now you can go off TANGENT again

So why does he have white hair and a white beard is it camouflage for when he goes hunting.

Here’s a thing....... the number of times, when I am talking about hibernating my torts to someone, they say to me “ how do you keep them warm “ , and I find my self speechless. Have they not heard of hibernating British wildlife in WINTER when it’s COLD . Am I being a little harsh or are they being a little stupid .

I have been asked this a number of times and I really can’t believe it . I really do find myself staring at them wondering what to say next, maybe wanting to say “ why would I want to keep them warm , they are hibernating “ . My face must be a picture .

That's all well and good but that doesn't answer my question.

First of all Father Christmas doesn’t go hunting because he’s a kindly old gentleman, old is a key word here, that’s why he has white hair and beard.
Does that answer your question Gordon, I can’t put it more plainly.

Now perhaps you could answer my question.

We are not reptiles so we don't think like them when it's winter time we get out our thick jumpers etc and put the summer duvet away and get out the winter one to keep warm so that's why people who don't know assume you put them somewhere warm aswell.

That's the best I can come up with.

How do we know he's a kind old gentleman nobody has ever seen him.
I recon he is some sort of psycho polar bear hunter and is really ginger but dyes his hair.

Poor you Gordon, are you still under the illusion that nobody has ever seen him, you must have been on the naughty list , oh dear........ of corse people have seen him, do you honestly think that he can go in all those houses, all over the world in one night, and nobody sees him! That would be ridiculous, mark my words he’s been seen, that’s how we know what he looks like, sillly

I bet you don’t believe in fairies either !
