P J Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Best of luck with that Agamemnon, what a lovely idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I heartily recommend it. It is a fabulous place to visit for adults as well as children. Walking round the grotto and the Lions coming round the streets with Santa, are the ONLY two things that remind me of a proper Christmas.

wolfie Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 So I take it that the Shepherds, 3 Wise Men and the baby in a manger are not part of your proper Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 So I take it that the Shepherds, 3 Wise Men and the baby in a manger are not part of your proper Christmas Not since I was about 8. Not true really, as I used to set it up for my kids when they were young. I can just see Mary, saying BAH HUMBUG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agamemnon1 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this years Christmas Grotto the best yet ! Over a 1,000 members of the public called in to see the grotto and meet Father Christmas. Each year produces little gems from the mouths of the children and this year was no exception ! One young lady when asked by Santa if her Mummy had been a good girl all year, The young lady replied that mummy had been ok except when she shouted at her and her brother and then shouted at daddy, who then shouted back at mummy and thats when mummy started to throw things at daddy !! It was a picture to see mummys face turn the same colour as Santas coat ! Once again thanks to all the volunteers who made it a brilliant sucess, A special mention must go to our local community developement officer who i cannot name for various reasons for her help and commitment not only for the grotto but for all the hard work she puts into the community throughout the year Many thanks also to WBC, our local councillors and the wardens from STiW .
