One mum has finally done what every parent dreams of doing when their kids become unruly around this time of year: Cancel Christmas.
In a message from Santa, signed by 'Elsie the elf', the naughty kids in question were told: "CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED FOR NOW!"
The note - addressed to her three children - came attached to the Christmas tree which had been wrapped up with industrial cling film.
"If you want me to keep visiting, a Santa visit, your tree and presents back your behaviour needs to improve," the letter from Elsie continued.
