Mr Humbug in Greenwich Market

I was having a look through my photos to see if I had anything appropriate for today, Christmas Eve.

Oops, looks like I missed my Daily Photo yesterday for the first time since I started doing them. My Christmas shopping took me as far as Reading in Berkshire where I had a look around the Woolworths (I want to see as many of them as I can before they disappear) and couldn’t but notice that the reading material in Reading was a little limited…

It goes without saying that this is the busiest time of the year for Father Christmas, but he has found time in his schedule to come and meet the children of Greenwich to find out what they want for Christmas.

You can find Santa Claus in his wonderful grotto, inside Greenwich Market (unit 5b) from Saturday 20th December until Tuesday 23rd December – 10am to 5pm. Go along and meet Santa, share your Christmas wish with him and receive a delightful gift too. The price of admission is £3.
