LOL.... Santa is leaving for Christmas....
Hoorah... ;D;D;D
Merry Christmas!
regards.
There's actually a bit of a backstory to that one: I did fly into Rovaniemi with Finnair to meet Santa, and I did see him in his sleigh. Though not at the airport, I have to admit.
Anyway, my computer's crashed again due to overheating, but I should have it repaired in a couple of days' time.
