The man in red

We arrived in Christchurch around lunch time, and as we couldn't get into our motel room until 2pm, we went shopping. Poor old Santa had a l-o-n-g queue of young children waiting to go and sit on his knee. I managed to take this photo in between children leaving and coming on up to see him. Poor Santa - he will be pleased when the 26th December arrives so he can have a rest!
