EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1968, we witness the enchanting arrival of Father Christmas on horseback at Woodley School in Berkshire, England. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as children eagerly gather outside their primary school to catch a glimpse of the beloved holiday figure. Father Christmas sits atop his majestic steed, exuding an air of magic and wonder. His traditional red suit stands out against the snowy backdrop, while his long white beard flows gracefully in the wind. With a pipe clenched between his teeth, he waves cheerfully to the excited schoolchildren who have gathered around him. This snapshot not only showcases a cherished Christmas tradition but also offers us a glimpse into the customs and education practices of that era. It reminds us of simpler times when smoking pipes were more common and Santa Claus arrived on horseback rather than by sleigh or helicopter. As we delve into this nostalgic scene captured by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer, we are transported back to an era when innocence reigned supreme during the festive season. This print serves as a beautiful reminder of our shared cultural heritage and evokes feelings of warmth and joy associated with Christmases past.
