An annual council-run Christmas charity appeal for toy donations has been launched.
Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Operation Santa is aiming to support more than 700 children across the county borough this year.
The children who will receive the toy donations are not helped by any other appeal, and have been nominated by social workers who work with families across the county borough.
Cllr Robin Woodyatt, Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Social Services, said: “Every year we are blown away by the amount of donations we receive and every year these gifts help spread a little festive joy to a local child at Christmas.
“On behalf of the council, I would like to thank everyone who has supported this appeal in the past and I would also like to urge residents and businesses to show the same level of support again this year.”
People can pledge to buy a gift for a child by calling 01443 866 577 or emailing operationsanta@caerphilly.gov.uk.
Donations can then be dropped off at one of the collection centres up until Friday, December 4.
The pledge telephone line is open until Friday, November 27.
Collection centres are at: Apex Estate Agents in Bargoed; Bargoed YMCA; Lloyds Bank, Rhymney; Customer First in Pontlottyn; Customer First in Blackwood; Pontllanfraith House, Pontllanfraith; Barclays Bank in Ystrad Mynach; Penallta House; Caerphilly Library; Barclays Bank in Risca; and Barnardos and Caerphilly Family Support Service in Risca.
This is a nice thing to see but it comes with big buts.
I hope the children receiving toys are fully vetted first; the children should be British citizens; not live in a house with satellite TV nor expensive items, the occupants should not have tables nor smartphones, and the occupants should not be eating any junk food throughout the year nor eating out.
If it turns out the children or their parents/guardians have any of the above then I am against operationsanta. The parents can clearly afford to buy their children their own gifts like every other parents does.

Dean Reveals the Workings of Santaland – original analysis by Dean Cooperfield-West for sceptical people.
For anyone reading, the population boom in the country, caused mainly by immigration, means Father Christmas cannot make enough toys for every child as well as being in the garden centres to see you. He therefore needs to recruit thousands of fake Santas who fill in for him. These fake Santas are scattered across the world in identical costumes to relay the wishes of small kids back to Father Christmas (who, for the purpose of this analysis, is the real Santa). At the end of every day the letters and messages are sent to the North Pole where Father Christmas’ operation is managed from.
Now, the common arguments for not believing in Santa are a) it is impossible to deliver everything, b) people have not seen his factories, c) my parents and friends said so, and d) how is it paid for? But these are all wrong. Let me explain.
The first reason: it is impossible to deliver everything. Not quite, there is a big airship the size of London that travels around the world high above us. Aboard there are millions of elves, helper-Santas, vets for the reindeer, a gym, a school, experts who managed the operations, and Father Christmas to control everything. The airship is so big it contains factories where everything is made, mines where the materials are made, and research centres where the secret of invisibility has been discovered.
At night when you sleep they all fast rope down from the ship in an operation with more precision than something the army does, the gifts are delivered and the helpers climb back on the magical airship. Father Christmas still helps out delivering gifts but his old age – he is about 150 years old now means he only delivers things to the houses where the good children are. Now, these good children are the children who have never ever ever been in trouble with anyone; they have never had parents correct them nor have they had a teacher tell them off for talking; these children are perfect.
Returning to the airship, there three runways on board enabling jumbo jets of the biggest kind, piloted by elves, to fly in more toys form the North Pole where the factories are. This is way after Christmas you never see Santa nor his helpers. All of them have caught planes to the big airship that lands in the North Pole.
The second point: no one sees him in the North Pole is false too. Quite simply, when he detects someone coming his airship takes off. As everything is contained on the airship, everything can fly off without leaving a trace. Of course no one sees him. The airship also hovers with ramps coming down, allowing no trace to be left on Earth. As for radar and planes detecting it, that does not make sense either. After all, B2 bombers are undetectable.
Thirdly, your parents and friends are wrong, it is them no knowing how Christmas works with Father Christmas that means they have been telling you the wrong information. Parents have been brainwashing the children with the nonsense of Santa not existing or generations (not surprising when parents brainwash their children to vote for anti-Britain and anti-Wales parties like Labour, Plaid Cymru, and, God forbid, the Greens. All of these parties are committed to destroying Santa – I shall prove this later.
Finally, we all know people pay tax to the government but we do not all know where the tax money goes. We hear horror stories about the government spending £300 on a role of sticky tape, however, the truth is that money is secret Santa tax. All countries pay it. The money is disguised as wastage to maintain the mystery of Santa. The sceptical numpties need someone to doubt.
Can you be sure Father Christmas does not exist? Please provide some evidence, I invite you to. Believing in Santa is the de facto belief of billions of people, therefore, the burden of proof must rest with those who claim he does not exist.
As I promised, I shall explain why Labour, Plaid Cymru, and the Greens are committed to destroying Santa and Christmas. I will go through their policies detailing how they plan to destroy Christmas.
These parties are ridiculous. They want to tax fuel more, reduce air travel, and tax the rich. Now, Father Christmas is the world’s richest man as all countries pay him money and he owns an airship but the tax on him will mean he can no longer give presents to every child. As a result, some children will have to go without. The Greens also want to tax fuel but without this fuel Father Christmas’ airship would not be able to fly. No present would be delivered, no Christmas trees would be planted, and no one happy dust would be sprinkled over everyone. Christmas would be ruined. But it is okay for the Greens to try. Green is the colour of goblins, who, in Noddy, are not very nice people. The Greens are simply doing what they exist to do. However, these parties are given an agenda by the EU which is the biggest hurdle to Christmas.
The parties also believe in ‘redistribution of wealth’ which is terrible. Say, you were given a special present for Christmas which you have always wanted, how would you feel if a strange then legally stole that present from you to give it to the class bully who did not try hard at school, did not show respect, and was hated by everyone? I think you would be angry. This is what these parties want to do with Father Christmas’ money. He will not be able to buy presents to give to children across the world.
Another criticism is the parties’ love for mass immigration. Imagine if, on Christmas Day, your front doors were opened to allow strangers to enter to eat you food, play with your toys, watch your Christmas TV, and sit on your sofas – relegating you to the floor. There would be outrage, but this happens with immigrants being allowed to enter Britain. They do the same but they take the place in the good school you, or if you are a parent, your child cannot get into; not due to intelligence, but due to numbers.
Finally, all of these parties support the EU which sets ‘climate targets’. Essentially these targets say emissions should be reduced or climate change will destroy the planet. This is nonsense. Climate change is based on the temperate of the Earth but it will always fluctuate as Santa’s airship produces heat when manufacturing toys.
Avoid voting for these parties, and vote to leave the EU. Father Christmas needs you. Like on Miracle on 34th Street, we must save Santa. See, everyone. Labour, the Greens, and Plaid Cymru are all committed to destroying Christmas which undeniably exists.
No `TABLES ? How are they going to eatthe junk food?
Awesome, simply awesome.
