The jumper asda one a few weeks ago had laughs attached, but this as a shameless attempt at getting free lego. Oh dear Xmas Grin

Agree, sounds like she thought Westfield would spring for the toy.

sizeofalentil · 18/12/2016 21:10

Shall we have a whip round and buy one for him? Poor little mite!

icy121 · 18/12/2016 22:06

Joshua, Jasmine and Jasper?! Twins called Jas and Jas! She should fined for that alone.

Need to get my sad face ready

'Santa promised me a naked Tom Hardy and lots of gin but my husband says no'

Do you think the mirror will publish it?

OwlinaTree · 18/12/2016 22:51

Lol!

RuggerHug · 19/12/2016 12:43

hoopdeloop Go for it Xmas Wink Santa promised me he'd close the local shopping centre to everyone but me on Weds so I can get the last bits without crowds....think they'll do it? Xmas Grin

She loses points for saying 'end of' in my opinion!

Just tell the kid he's been too naughty for the gift... isn't that why people 'do' santa anyway? He's bound to have done something naughty through the year - make it be all his own fault!

I'm a terrible person btw...

clicky link

for anyone who needs a clicky link!

MycatsaPirate · 19/12/2016 12:52

Oh god, these are shameless!

I have also seen on where the presents were all in the car (and the car was stolen because she left the engine running and went inside) and another where all the presents were wrapped under the tree and they were burgled and all their ipads, laptops and other expensive things were stolen (the kids in that article were about 3 and 5).

Shameless people trying to con others into donating free stuff.

Dons1975 · 19/12/2016 13:38

lol that's a pretty good sad face! To be fair though the Santa we visited told my four year old his list was easy - he asked for a hatchimal!! Xmas Grin I just laughed tho.

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 19/12/2016 13:52

I want to know what line she's spun to her child who allegedly believes in Santa to explain to him why they're taking this picture/going to the papers.

MeetMeAtMidnight · 19/12/2016 14:00

How bloody embarrassing, splashing herself and her kids all over the paper to try and scam a freebie. I'd never be able to look my family and friends in the face again. So it's not Christmas yet and the child believes in Santa yet somehow knows already he's not getting the gift? So glad the shopping centre didn't cave in to this shameless emotional blackmail. And self-absorbed cow had absolutely no compunction in putting that Santa's job in jeopardy either. Give her a skating package? I'd ban her for life.

Rachel0Greep · 19/12/2016 14:04

What a load of rubbish! Complete with sad faces.

hoopdeloop · 19/12/2016 15:33

RuggerHug of course they will, ''tis the season of people demanding!

PebbleInTheMoonlight · 19/12/2016 15:39

I need to get my sad face ready then for the national rag...eldest daughter (9 and yes is happily a Santa believing child) saw Santa in a Grotto on the weekend.

All she asked for was a bin for her bedroom (I may nag her a bit about the mess she makes with paper). Santa promised her there would be something a little extra special as well as the bin.

How dare he promise my daughter a better gift than a bin. I'm outraged!

Meanwhile in the real world I'm happy that Santa made my daughter smile, she still only expects a bin from Santa (there will be other gifts) and will be grateful with anything she gets under the Christmas tree.

Creatureofthenight · 19/12/2016 15:46

Why is the boy doing sad face, according to the story he believes Santa is bringing the lego!

Oblomov16 · 19/12/2016 15:52

Well, the photos don't help, but it is possible the Santa promised/ implied to the boy that he would get it.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 19/12/2016 15:55

Speechless...

'End of' Grin

Rachel0Greep · 19/12/2016 16:23

I doubt it. The Santa apparently has 20 years experience.
Total try on, IMO. She should be ashamed of herself.

RuggerHug · 19/12/2016 17:02

And also, Santa wouldn't lie!!!

Plot twist... he actually is Santa and the toy turns up under the tree Christmas morning! I may have watched miracle on 34th street yesterday

StarryIllusion · 19/12/2016 17:38

That isn't a sad face, that is a sulky, I-need-a-slapped-arse face. Woman's got more front than blackpool. What a load of bollocks.

NovemberInDailyFailLand · 19/12/2016 17:40

Santa promised me Rufus Sewell in a magic chocolate factory.

mygorgeousmilo · 19/12/2016 18:55

Oh Hun! You had me at "end of"
