Come and see the lovely Santa picture DD made, and tell me whether I should be worried.

On my profile.

Can you make it out? Santa is stabbing the sleeping girl.

She's 7. I've decided to be proud of her vivid imagination

hmmm, if she starts torturing small animals (or reindeer) I'd hand her over to the authorities!

Oh ha ha guess evryone gets fed up with their job at some point
Like the dayglo colours though

can i ask whats with the egg though?

What's the egg for, that's what I want to know!

Is she hinting that that's what Santa does to children who don't beleive?

The egg is

Has she said why Santa is stabbing the girl?

Does that say "do no belive i santa"? Does it illustrate what will happen if you do believe, or if you don't?

It's a ghost egg, or one that looks like the mask from Scream at least.

Good picture though.

what what is the egg???

The story of the egg.

Explanation, in DD's own words;

"There is two Santas. If you believe in the one in the green jacket there's a possibility that something bad might happen. [DD takes over typing from here]

its best to believe in the one
in the red and white clothes because he will
give you presents for free!
by the way none of it is true.

Bless her What an imagination!

There is a decapitated deer on the High Street in the village where I live this morning - perhaps she knows something we don't!

there are shades of the great artist Craigie Aitchison there I think

Any one seen the Futurama episode with the murderous Santa robot here

Ring any bells??

I like her style.

My parents have just cleared out their loft and found my school books up there. There's a story I've written aged 6 that goes something like this:

once there was a beautiful princess with long yellow hair and blue eyes and she went to the beach and got eaten by a big mutant robot and that was the end of her

There are several of these tales with graphic pictures and various fairytale heroes and heroines meeting sticky ends. There are lots of comments like 'You have a very good imagination ShowOfHands'. I asked my Mum about them and she shrugged and said 'yes, we used to worry about you'.

Turned out alright.

There is a story of father christmas from a different country (I don't know which) where he visits children and hurts them or something. She must have heard this story - he is a evil folk story charecter.
Sorry so vague but I know what she means!! No need to worry.
Love the egg!

abear do you live in that village with the topiary deer then? saw it on the news (so bored last night reading news for random areas on teletext LOL)

just look at all the gory fairy tales to see where they get their inspiration from - wolf eating grandmother (little red riding hood), little pigs boiling the big bad wolf, rapunzal locked up in a tower etc.

maybe she saw this?.
