Today, I am taking part in the exciting indieBRAG Christmas Blog Hop and I have someone not
only special, but more famous than anyone on the planet and they have popped
into my interview room for a chat. Believe you me I can’t get my head around
how I managed this one! So who is he?
Well, you only get to see him once a year and that is if you are lucky or very
good. He is famous for racing across the night sky in a sleigh with a team of
reindeers, especially one with a very red nose. He loves to slip down chimneys
and he manages to visit every home in just one night! So please welcome the
mystery man himself, Father Christmas, also known as Santa Clause.
Now whilst you are helping
yourself to glasses of Gluwien, I’m going to try and find out a little
more about this celebrity…
PB: I’m going in straight
here, are you real?
FC: *Chuckle* Well I’m here,
but what would you say about Jane
Leonard in Magnolia House or Kitty Costain from In The Cold Light of Day, I
won’t mention all the others, but are they real?
PB: *smiling* Mmm put like
that I see your point and yes they are real! Of course this time of the year is very
much for children, I know we are all big kids at heart and as much as I’d love
to ask all the questions, I have brought along my three little helpers who want to
ask you a few questions, so please say hello to Paige, Theo and Leighton.
FC: Hello you three, I hope
you’ve all been good this year
Theo: *Giggling* I thought you should know that
already. So have I?
FC: *Clearing his throat and
smirking* Mmmm yes you are right of course I know, and yes, you have been good,
very good.
Leighton: *Leaning forward* I
want to know how many mince pies you eat on Christmas Eve?
FC: *scratching his beard*
Well, let me see. I normally find two in every house, so if you times that by
all the homes I go to, how many do you think it would be?
Leighton: *Counting on his
fingers* Enough to make you sick!
FC: *Stifling a chortle* You
could be right there. Leighton!
Paige: *Hand up and waving*
I’ve got a question, how do you go around the whole world in one night?
FC: *Smiling* I’m very lucky
that my sleigh and reindeers travel faster than the speed of light so I can
visit everyone in a fraction of the time anyone else can.
Paige: ‘My mum says when we’re
late for school she has to travel faster than the speed of light to get us
there on time. You ought to meet my mum.
FC: *Chuckling* Yes Leighton, I see you have another question for
me.
Leighton: *Giggling* How fat is your tummy and do you get stuck a
lot when delivering presents?
FC: *Rubbing his rotund
tum* I’ve only got stuck once and that
was not down to my tummy, but down to Rudolph, he fell down the chimney and jammed
us both in. Thankfully his large hooves helped him climbed back up and we got
out.
Leighton *Smirking* Our cat,
Bubble Gum did that once. His paws didn’t get him out, but they brought all
the soot down and everything in the room was covered in black except for mum’s face
it was red with anger.
FC: Goodness, I’d better watch
out for Bubble Gum when I visit on Christmas Eve
Paige: How do the elves make
all the toys in time?
FC: *Taking hold of Paige’s
hand* They work very hard and the workshop never closes, it is open 24 hours a
day seven days a week. When some elves are sleeping others are making toys and
that is why there is enough for everyone.
Paige: *Nodding* I hope so,
because last year some elves must have slept too long because my mummy didn’t
get what she’d asked for we just hope the elves will make sure she gets it this
Christmas.
FC: I hope so too Paige.
PB: Father Christmas you’ve
made it a magical Christmas for four people and we hope you will be making it a
truly, happy, peaceful and magical Christmas for everyone else too.

Thanks, Pauline, for the very informative peek into the psyche of that notorious character, Father Christmas. I'm sure he seems more real to all of us, now.
Happy Christmas to you and your delightful children.
Awww Thank you so much J B Hawker for visiting, like you we know a little more about our notorious character... wishing you a wonderful Christmas :) x
Such a cute post!
Thank you Judy, the children asked the question, it makes you wonder where they get their ideas from. Have very merry Christmas.
Love your books and love you Pauline, you are always so bright and bubbly - the human equivalent of a glass of Champagne!
Awww I don't know what to say Helen, but a very BIG thank you. xxxx
Cute little twist, and a very enjoyable little interview.
Hello Jo, thank you so much for stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas x
Lovely post, it made me smile.
Thank you so much Deborah for stopping by and I'm pleased the little scamps made you smile xxx
I am not sure how you always seem to get the "big" people for your interviews but this may have been the biggest!
Great fun!
Merry Christmas to you and your family from all of us at indieBRAG
I don't the answer either, momma was thinking, but I guess he's the biggest yet! Thanks for calling by. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a wonderful time.
