Like it or not, Christmas will soon be here and if you have small
children, it probably means queuing for ages in one of the stores
waiting to see Santa.
Why not save yourself all that trouble by booking on one of the
Mid-Hants Railway Santa Specials. Take the steam train for a round
trip to Santa's Grotto where the children receive a present from Santa,
and Mums and Dads are served sherry and mince pies.
Santa Specials operate from both Alresford and Alton each Saturday and
Sunday from the end of November until Christmas, with additional services
during Christmas Week. All seats must be booked by post in advance.
Details and booking forms are available from Alresford Station
(096 273 4200), or from me at The Crescent (Ext 4473/4476). These trips
are very popular so hurry, and make a trip to see Santa a pleasure for
all the family.

We took our kids last year - it was great.
The kids enjoyed it too.
I got the impression it restored the mystery - they had been rapidly
beleiving Santa was really Daddy being silly and charitable. Then
we went to a railway station, climbed aboard a wonderful old steam
train and dissapeared into the darkness, to arrive ....
I shan't spoil it for you.
Just get your tickets well in advance - its worth it!
