Kudos for the title, points off for mild criticism of the Jarman Market.

That's where the real Father Christmas could be visited!

Yeah, but the real Father Christmas was at Lewis's. All the others were just pretending!

This is true. He also had Uncle Holly with him when I went.

I had a Christmas job in Lewis’s, some years after queuing to meet Father Christmas. I’d like to think he and/or the elves put in a good word for me behind the scenes.

Great solstice and you were right, Dave.
