Light hearted thread 
Every year my husband is Father Christmas for a National Trist property.
Despite most of the year moaning about other people’s kids he absolutely bloody LOVES being Santa. He’s always full of what the children say, what they ask for (LOL Dolls are big among girls this year and among the boys there’s a lot of Lego requests).
He adores it all.
Now when DS was born DH was anxious that he was ..in his words “going to be a really crap father.” He was never broody and would I suspect have been quite happy if we’d had no children. I struggled to conceive and DS was a bit of a miracle. I can assure you he quickly got to grips with it all and DS has survived to the age of 17 and they have a great relationship.
So DH phones today to tell me that for the first time in his life he understood what it was like to feel broody (what is he...a woman) all because he’s been seeing excited 2+ yr olds all day. ...he’s had letters with stickers all over them, the children brought in mince pies, chocolate and homemade cards too. He gets this every year but I suspect DS being 17 has brought home how magical having young children is at a Xmas.
And thank goodness I am 53 and can’t have children any more. Broody old sod.
