A photograph from the Daily Herald Archive showing Father Christmas sat at a table in a canteen with a cup of tea, taken by Herald staff photographer C Smith, 18 December 1964.
Father Xmas after a hard day at Selfridge's and seeing as many as 5,000 children in a day, Father Xmas doesn't fly away on a reindeer-drawn sleigh - he goes down to the store canteen, puts his feet up and has a cup of tea, surrounded by tables and chairs of the closing canteen.
