Today, two strange things happened. The first: Santa said sitting in the grotto reminded him of being in hospital.
I never got to the bottom of that because I was interrupted to attend to some children.
The second: I was told that a 7-year-old boy still believed in Santa.
I exclaimed in amazement. She had to be kidding. But no, his mother even whispered this to me so as not to ruin the illusion for her son.
I took a vow of silence and then she let slip a bit of information that perplexed me.
She told me how he had already been to visit Santa’s grotto in Harrods.
And he still thinks there’s one Father Christmas?
Maybe he thinks Santa does a tour of shopping centres.
Not far from the truth. As long as he doesn’t find out that there is more than one in different shopping centres all at the same time!
