There we are.
My dad's out buying crayons.
And there we are.
They've been sorting out the presents so far.
I've got a couple of boxes in the house I've forgotten to bring up.
But they've been sorting it all out and making sure I'm bagging it all up ready.
We're not going to wrap them so that mums can look and see whether it's suitable or not.
And she's also written approximately the age on there.
So we'll try and distribute them now the best they are.
Thank you to the public for donating the gifts.
It's very kind of you.
We've got selection boxes and obviously the characters.
I'd also like to say thank you to Mascots, Memories and more because they've given us an extra hour with Woody and Buzz for free and they've given us a discount and sorted us out with a Santa for Blackwood at short notice.
And then we've obviously got Jenny and Mark.
We're going to be doing the other Santa and we're going to be making a donation to their chosen charity which I believe is a school.
It's a special needs school.
So yeah, thank you very much everybody.
We're looking forward to Saturday now.
Got to get the backdrops up.
Santa in.
We've got Princess Aurora.
We've got Bluey.
And if you go to Pontypool and you see Santa and Bluey you can then go up to Blackwood.
Only one Santa to visit for the children but you can still have your photos with Woody and Buzz and Princess Aurora up there trying to dig out a costume for Dan.
Now we are.
So yeah, absolutely brilliant.
We're on about 50 but we've got some more in the house which is more than last year which is brilliant I think.
Absolutely brilliant because last year was like, we said 25 didn't we last minute?
And didn't we have like 30 because Jenny and Paul, Julie and Paul bought loads of stuff didn't they?
Loads of mugs that they make from their company.
So yeah, there's loads there.
Well you've got four.
Four spinners, yeah.
Boys or girls?
Boys or girls, yeah.
Oh my, that's lovely.
And these look, you have a few of these in there.
Little teddy.
Happy or sad look.
So if they can't regulate their emotions.
Oh.
I know.
We've got a big one in Pontypool.
Everybody's been so kind.
Oh we've got some fantastic stuff.
Beautiful soft toys.
Yeah and like I just said you don't need to buy new.
If you've got something you haven't opened.
And baby outfits we've got.
I know we've got bubble baths I've got to bring up.
Things for teenagers.
Yeah because sometimes teenagers are the ones that get left out.
But we've got good teenage presents.
So absolutely brilliant.
It's going to be a bit cramped in the shop.
So we know that we'll try and sort something out next year.
But you know what it's like.
Our crazy life and our way to go.
I think these are bags.
These are bags as well.
Oh yeah.
Any problems with your present let us know and we can sort something out.
Or if there isn't anything that's suitable there's bound to be something in the play areas that you can choose as well.
And Princess Aurora will be giving out free books because as you know we've got millions of them.
So you can take some books as well.
Wouldn't it be a fantastic day.
It is yeah.
It usually is.
Yeah.
We've had quite a few days.
It puts everybody in a Christmas mood.
Yeah we did it too late last year and Mother's had already gone.
It's £10 a visit now.
No photos.
Got to buy the photo package after.
That's why we just say free focus.
It is.
It's exploiting children.
If you've got three or four kids that's exploiting children in there.
At the time of year.
Can you imagine if you had three or four quids that's at least £30 to £40 just to see Santa.
You know it's ridiculous.
Come and see our Santa.
He's the real one anyway.
Yeah definitely.
So there we are guys and like I said whoever's in front of you.
They're there for an hour but they ain't going to go.
If you've got extra they ain't going to go right.
Take as many pictures as you like.
If you want to tag us you can but we're not doing it for publicity.
We do this to thank our customers and donate just through the year.
