Good morning all, and good wishes!
I bought 2 C..... decorations very cheaply on our village facebook page. One of them is a sort of wicker Father C, but I feel that he needs more "filling" in his body, as it seems to have settled at the bottom.
Now, it would be pretty easy to poke some more in through the framework, and it's probably perfectly possible to buy it on line, if only I knew what the damn stuff was called! 
It looks a bit like long horsehair and is red (he has the same stuff but white in his face, and that's fine, it's just his body that I think needs a bit more).
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Agree shysal I would refer to the stuff that I have found & ordered as "sizeal"
sorry about the shouty bit 
On the Create and Craft channel I have heard sisal referred to as 'sissle'. Surely I am right in thinking it is pronounced 'sizeal'?
Good luck with your stuffing! 
Thank you for the posts, please see my post of 15.45
BTW, he lights up too! ( much to Mr P's delight!)
As mentioned upthread, there is a bit of a tradition that "himself" has a new C....... decoration for his birthday, so he has now got 2, and at a bargain price!
Also, the lady in the village who I bought them from is glad that they are going to a good home.
She told me that her late husband was the one who was inclined to go a bit overboard at C..... and these items had been in the loft since he died. She is moving from the village to a retirement flat in Hampshire (nearer her family) so was having a clear out. A bit 
really.
Absolutely, MamaCaz! 
When the sisal arrived and he has had his stuffing topped up, I will post another photo.
Merlot do you want to pm you with thread title so that you can avoid it?
