May I thank all the people young and old who came out to see me on my Christmas Eve journey through Watchet.

A special thank you to Richard Burnell for his continued support and the elves who worked so hard in the weeks leading up to Christmas decorating the sleigh.

Thanks to Watchet Football Club for providing transport for my helpers and to the Esplanade Club for providing the sweets that my helpers and I gave to the children.

As always, many houses were beautifully lit and lots of people offered refreshments which were much appreciated by myself and my helpers.

Wishing you all a prosperous New year and I look forward to seeing you next Christmas Eve.

Santa Claus.
