As some of you may know, I become Father Christmas for a few hours at weekends and on some weekdays, too, at this season.
Usually it involves a short interview with one or two children (and their parents or grandparents), to find...

Tomorrow I start my run up to Christmas. I have done this nearly every year now for about 10 years (I've actually lost count). Some years it has begun with a ride in the White Witch's sleigh from Narnia, one year it was in Herbie,...
