Everyone was gone by 7.30 and Poor Old Mam- ma retired to bed with a cup of coffee and the mom- ing paper. What bliss! And who else do you suppose enjoyed it immensely - the big brother of course. The small moppet enjoyed most of all the big bass drum - and I hope Santa doesn’t have one of those in his pack!
