The famous house

Bonjour!!!

Well looky looky who’s back with another jot...

Was just yesterday when I started blogging and I am back for another round... :)

I feel so pressured to write the right thing...lol...write the right...anyway...here goes...

There's this house in 3rd Avenue Grassy Park Cape Town that always seems to have the town talking this time of year...

And this year it put us on the map...on the front page of our local newspaper...Some pics attached...

We stopped at the house last night and I was wondering why would someone pay so much money to light up a house? I mean it's not like he's doing Eskom any favours, seeing as to how they already milking us with their exorbitant electricity tariffs...but I noticed he had a huge box for donations in the midst of all the twinkling lights...and then I thought…good act of faith ...but needless to say no body noticed it and those who did just played pretend…so I guess we all know where his Christmas bonus is going…


As we were getting ready to leave, these kids approach my friend Derecia asking her to take some pics with Santa...she's like ok go stand over there with Father Christmas...the one girl...sits on the inflated Santa...I guess she thought that she had to pose like in one of those pics you take at the mall...and Santa just gives in...she wasn’t even shocked…I just remember her trying to pick him up and all he did was cave in and then she just moved to position herself on his lap again or in this case on his knee caps…that was funny…oblivious to what had happened she just wanted her picture taken…lol

Shame he nearly suffered death by deflation...
As we exited the gates of the Famous House I hear the kids mother screaming at them from the gate...ek kan julle nooit nerens neemie...weet julle ha ah nee man ko net weg ha...os gaan nou huis toe…hhhaahhha...in English the mom was just saying get a way there you embarrassing me by your behaviour, you always have to act this way. This is why I can't take you anywhere...lol...This is a typical rendition of generations of mothers in every culture and country...it’s so funny, I think I will be signing that same song one day…

Well at least Santa survived the night…wonder who will try to sit on him tonight...


Till my next blog…maybe tomorrow lol…oh and if you are reading this thanks, because quite frankly I think I am the only one…

Ciao Ciao…and God Bless
