St Nick’s makeover

How can one old man hand-deliver presents to 2 billion children in one evening? How can the white-bearded one be here when we just saw him round the corner in his grotto in the shopping centre? Why is 'Santa' an anagram of 'Satan'?

A recent competition launched for the best version of the Lord's Prayer in text message form (er... txt msg 4m) drew a big response from mobile users. And the prayers and other sayings of Jesus which arrived were intriguing.

People not only tried to make the Lord's Prayer as short as possible, so that it would fit into the space of a single txt msg. They also got to the heart of what the prayer is all about and then put it into their own words.

She is no less brilliant in her creations for rejesus but why not find out for yourself.
