This heartwarming news piece collects amusing Christmas anecdotes from readers. From a slug-enchanted reindeer food offering to a mischievous prank on a hopeful pony seeker, these stories capture the festive spirit and its occasional chaos.
Andrew Maxwell of Kurmond doesn’t hold back when leaving treats for Rudolph and friends : “We went through a period where rolled oats mixed with glitter was the preferred offering. It would be sprinkled on the front veranda and I expected to be able to head outside and easily blow the oats into the adjacent garden. Who knew slugs liked oats? Which made it difficult to blow away the ‘reindeer food’, and I’m sure slugs were confused with glistening sprinkles stuck all over them, too.
Kids are cruel. Especially in the festive season: “Christmas, 1916, and my then 6-year-old uncle Jack, had asked Santa for a pony,” writes Bob Doepel of Greenway . “His two older cousins told him he should leave a bucket of water and some hay by the fence, so the pony had food and water. Jack obeyed. During the night the evil cousins removed some of the water and hay, tied a halter to the fence, and deposited some horse manure on the ground.
