Father Christmas - the very name conjures up images of a kindly round-bellied, merry man in a coat with fur trim, presents, reindeer, a sleigh, elves, toy-making, Christmas Eve, the North Pole, snow, Christmas trees and Mrs Claus. Over 15 themed spreads, "Father Christmas" beautifully captures the enchanting world of Santa. Take a close look at his house; the Elf Village; Father Christmas's workshop; and the mailroom. Discover how the reindeer are selected and trained, where they live and what they eat. Learn how Father Christmas's suit keeps him warm in cold climates and cool in hot ones; how his sleigh works; how he travels around the world in time to deliver all of the presents; and how he stores all the presents in a magic cargo hold, which will never be full. Finally, take a look at how Father Christmas, Mrs Claus, the elves and the reindeer celebrate on Christmas Day.
