What's This?

Something to make his eyes pop, five-month old Roger Sayers gazes in wonderment over the foot of his cto at the stocking full of toys and sweets left there for him by Santa Claus. Mind you, Roger is being a little cautious, it's the first ever Christmas stocking he's seen.

21 December 1957
