In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

A very different modern twist to being sent to Spain if they are not good that we used was to tell them that the star - * button on the telephone was a snowflake and a direct link to Father Christmas if they were naughty  ;D

I can't wait to try this at home.  ;D
@geobra: Thanks a lot! :-)

...but also since they were small my boys have always sprinkled 'magic reindeer food' outside just before they went to bed  (this is a mixture of oats and glitter) the idea being that the glitter will sparkle in the light from the moon and stars and so attract the reindeer who fly down to eat the oats, therefore bringing Father Christmas and their presents - It always worked  Laugh

WHAT?!?!!
So it doesn't link to Santa?
... I can't believe I fell for that......  :-[ :-[

The reindeer food still seems to work though!
