I’ve lost the bloody christmas list

Every year dc and I have a little thing where we write to Santa to ask for 3 things each. Not big things because Santa only gets small presents and they have to be fairly easy to get (previously they’ve asked for small Lego sets, new pencil case etc). On the last day of November we put the letters on the fire. In my envelope I just put some copper sulphate, when the fire turns blue that means Santa has got his letter, everyone is happy.

Except this year I didn’t take a photo of them before we put them on the fire. I got my phone out ready to take a photo but looking in my phone gallery it appears I took a photo of the cat instead. Dc’s are 7 and 3, dc1 writes the letter for dc2 and he won’t tell me what they asked for. Dc1 is starting to question Santa and I’m pretty sure he won’t tell me because he knows that I’ll be buying it. Should I tell him? Or try and wheedle it out of him some other way? Dc2 has already forgotten what he asked for so he’ll be happy with whatever he gets.

I'm sure that answers will be more forthcoming if you post the picture of your cat ...

I dunno? Santa told you he was reading the newspaper on the toilet when your message wafted up and you have to do it again?

I would tell them FC said the letter didn't arrive (ham it up a bit) and ask them to rewrite it!

Photo I took of cat instead of letters. He did look rather sweet at the time.

Dc2 has told me what he thinks he asked for so he may be placated. I’ll try asking ds1 after school again, write a letter from Santa asking for another or something.
