So the time is finally here. I am now officially old enough to play the big man himself Father Christmas! I’ll be the incumbent fat jolly man at the Epping and Ongar railway all through December including a 6 day run up to Christmas Eve! I’m really looking forward to it as I’ve been wanting to ditch Scrooge for years! I’ll also be staying in a nice warm hotel rather than my small cold flat! Lots of junk food to help with the Santa Claus tummy! I’m not completely grey so tested out some fantastic coloured hair clay on the beard….. looks pretty impressive I think. If you want to sit on my knee you must be in possession of at least one small child. Hope to see some of you there! Merry Christmas!!!
