This is Christmas 1960 at my grandparents home in Catford, South London and my sister Lindsay and I are clearly in awe of this magnificent lifelike specimen.

As for most people Christmas was best when I was young and still believed in Santa Claus. In those days we used to alternate between a Christmas at home and then at the grandparents the year after. I can remember one of these quite clearly. I think it was 1959.
