You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town.
In a year in which we've all seen a lot less people than usual, fewer sightings of Santa have no doubt occurred.
With this in mind, the Daily Echo shares a selection of pictures of the jolly big man in Hampshire through the years.
Each December, after almost 12 months of laying-low, the sleigh is dusted off and the reindeer fed – Father Christmas has to get to various events and grottoes somehow.
These pictures prove that he managed it and that once again, Santa Claus is coming to town.
