Pauline, I'm sorry to break the bad news to you but the truth is that if you
were BAD during the year, you got a lump of coal in your stocking instead of
a sock full of small presents.
Talk about BAD! When Santa Claus/Father Christmas visited our house, he must
have been driving a coal train and not a sled, because he supplied me with
enough coal to keep our furnace going all winter!
