Sitting Santa Seen him before?
HO Ho Ho... here’s a man known for his famous white whiskers and who definitely knows the Holborn and St Pancras area like the back of his hand. How else would he be able to get down all those chimney pots this evening (Christmas Eve) so quickly? There are a lot of houses to visit.
Yes, it’s Father Christmas himself, dropping in on the children at Argyle School in King’s Cross last Wednesday. The familiar face in the red and white suit spent an hour and a half meeting the pupils and taking down their Christmas wishlists.
He pulled up his sleigh outside the school just as snow began to fall, although the reindeers must have been parked up around the back because they couldn’t be seen from the school’s windows.
But the children’s faces lit up when a few early festive goodies were handed out.
