little Robbie Wilson lived in a humble abode in a remote northern town with his parents.
One day at school as christmas was approaching little Robbie overheard a conversation, Billy Green told the others gathered around him that last christmas he saw his father putting presents under the tree and that Santa Claus didn´t exist. Little Robbie was so upset but couldn´t bring himself to believe what Billy Green had said, he decided to write Santa Claus a letter, he wrote, Dear Santa Claus, I heard a terrible rumour that you don´t exist, but you bring me an orange and a shining new penny every year, this can not be possible! I have a special wish this year, my parents are very poor and can not afford the necessary repairs to our house, there are holes in the roof and it rains in and when it´s windy it howls through the whole house, my wish could you instead of my orange and new penny please send one hundred pounds for the roof repairs. Little Robbie addressed the letter to Sants Claus, Lapland and put it in the post box.
At the sorting office one of the workers saw the envelope and opened it, he was heartwrenched to read little Robbies story, he read it out loud at luch time to all the workers and suggested that they make a collection, all agreed and collected ninety two pounds in total, they put it in the envelope and sent it back to little Robbie. He was delighted as the postman brought his reply from Santa Claus. But he was a little dissappointed that the full hundred pounds didn´t come.
He wrote a thankyou note, "dear Santa Claus, first of all I am so relieved to know you realy do exist, secondly thankyou so much for the money, now we can repair our roof, lastly I wanted to let you know that eight pounds were missing from the envelope, I bet it was those thieving bastards at the post sorting office :-(
This tale I found in another forum. I showed it my son and he smiled:-))

and dear other people at this snugly place,
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Today I read a quotation I will share with you:
"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." (Vaclav Havel)
I wish you peaceful and relaxing days with the people who mean the world to you.

I would like to wish you all the best – not only for Christmas but for the days after the festive dinner too.
Have a happy New Year, dear Readers!
May your life bring you more happiness and not too much sorrow.
I went to a fortune-teller last week and she didn`t predict an early pregnancy because of a broken condom. She didn`t predict my lottery jackpot. And my mother won`t die in a flying accident.
She predicted luck, great love, happiness, success and money.
I wish you the same!
All the best. Merry Christmas!
Mark Wolkanowski
