Thanks Barb I'll google that myself now Jeanette Just googled and found an old itn newsreel and just spoiled my childhood memories, thought he had white hair and it was white cotton wool stuck on for sideburns lol

	Jeanette, he's a new one on me but have just googled and he seems to have been a green suited gentleman who worked for Selfridges instead of Father Christmas and apparently a monkey and parrot were involved as well. How strange lol Barb

Mum and Dad used to take me to Jones Brothers in Holloway to see Santa, but in particular I do remember going to a large Department store up West and there was a Mr Holly. My friends don't seem to know him at all!!! So wonder if anyone knew of him and any memories. Jeanette
