For many years now the local Round Table posted fliers to say when Santa would be coming down the road and his Elves and Snowmen would be collecting for a couple of local charities. Santa's sleigh was towed by a Land Rover , (because the reindeer are resting) , carols playing ,in the dark, all the young children would be out to wave at Santa ,who always came over to ask if they had been good .

It was a piece of magic and the kid's faces were a picture.

Last year it seemed to have been highjacked , no Round Table but three seperate lots of Santas , two on the same night, all a bit tacky , no Elves, no Snowmen , just blokes in Hi viz tabards , totally spoilt , definite feeling of being ripped off!!! :eek:

 
mmm, sometimes these things get hijacked by other charities trying to muscle in and get there first.

They are magic for kids, they used to come past our house when we were kids. The Round Table does a lot of good work, although I am biased!
