...and when it does Santa gets an invite to the Bass children's party. A fresh layer of snow meant he could again land on Skiddaw and get a lift across the lake in a dory using Rudolph's nose to show the way
He was greeted by the new social secretary Lucy and then came in to sing a few Christmas songs and gave out some early Christmas presents
This year there were some small Santas too!
and, of course, some bigger kids who just love being on Santa's knee!
