A cute little inquisitive smile from three year old Denise Lynch when she and her brother Graham (4) went to see and receive presents from Santa Claus at the City Photos Studio, Shipquay Street, Londonderry.

"216 Primity Crescent" came the reply, and Santa said: "If you and Graham go to bed early on Christmas Eve I will leave you both all the toys and games that you have asked for."A word with Santa...and a promise.
