Yesterday we took Ben and Aaron to Trago Mills to go on the Santa Express to see Father Christmas.  We boarded the train and we were taken to Santa’s Grotto after about 5-10 minutes journey time, which was out amongst the woods beside Trago.  When we got there we heard Father Christmas say ‘Ho Ho Ho’, at which point Ben got very excited and started jumping up and down with a huge grin on his face!  The grotto was all decorated with lovely bright Christmas lights and miniature houses etc and so we went in (guided by an Elf) to find Father Christmas all ready to meet the children.  All the children went up to the front and he asked them individually what they wanted.  When he asked Ben, he said ‘Doggy Doo’ to which Father Christmas replied ‘I will have to look that up’.  After he had spoken to them for a bit, each child went up and got a present (do did Aaron) and we managed to take a picture of Ben and Father Christmas on the way back on to the train.
