The sign glows in the dark. It is rather large and looks awful.

You have to make time for the important things Kath

It has made me worry how little husband notices though. Hasn’t recognised any of the toys and hasn’t realised i’m Sneaking around every night

Careful AnneTwackie, he’ll start to suspect that you’re having an affair. 😱

Imagine his shock when he finds out you’ve been giving Santa a squeeze in a car and partying with him. His memories of childhood will be corrupted. Won’t anyone think of the poor husband?

Hurrah for your OP, can't wait for the next instalment Xmas Grin

The magic of Christmas, op!

It has made me worry how little husband notices though. Hasn’t recognised any of the toys and hasn’t realised i’m Sneaking around every night. Probably glad of the peace!

My guess is he's turning a blind eye in the interests of 'plausible deniability'.

Perhaps he's hoping to suss out handwriting if you send him one back. Wonder if he's sent one to other neighbours?

@AnneTwackie this is genuinely warming my heart!

You, OP, are nothing short of heroic. I see the beauty in Kath and well.

Now the teens are on board, you can innocently blame them if you get accused!
