True... well sorta I fund it... but the kid makes me drive her to the cop shop on chrissy day with boxes of choccies and tins of shortbreads... to say thank you for keeping her and her family safe for the year... we have been doing it every year since she was nearly 3 and they helped her find her teddy bear after some fireworks.. altough because her teddy bear was called Grandad Michael they originally thought they were looking for her grandad. We get the good ones, not just roses.

 

TNP will be giving someone alcohol for chrissy this year.
