First of all I must confess that the amazing pun was courtesy of Katie!

3 runners made their way to the Baffins Pond head quarters to meet up with Santa and his sleigh.

The weather was kind, dry and only a little chilly. Santa rode his sleigh through Baffins whilst he had his favourite Christmas hits blasting out, and we collected donations for the Baffins Pond Association.

Lots of excited children came out to see Santa, and if you're looking for an area full of beautiful Christmas fairy lights - Baffins really does have plenty.

Tracy did a superb job as back marker to the sleigh whilst Judy and Sam knocked on doors to let the residents know that Santa was passing.

Many residents commented that they had been waiting for Santa, and how much they loved it. Some told us how it reminded them of waiting for Santa with their now grown up children.

It was another wonderful night spreading magical Christmas cheer.
