I WAS given such a warm welcome when I went along to St Andrews CE VA Primary School Christmas event.

I got dressed up in my Santa suit for the occasion and the pupils made a real fuss of me and gave me lots of cuddles, as you can see from the pictures.

The youngsters told me what sort of presents they were hoping for this Christmas and I joined in some of the fun events going on there.
