[IN Q=There are too many people...]
((JAMES LOVELL/DIRECTOR, SANTA SCHOOL: THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE STANDING IN THE STREET WITH DREADFUL COSTUMES, TRAINERS, SMOKING, HANDING OUT LEAFLETS. FATHER CHRISTMAS IS A MAGICAL CHARACTER. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT YOUR CHILDHOOD, HE IS CHRISTMAS, THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS. HE'S NOT SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE USED FOR MARKETING OR PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS.))

Teachers also look for a twinkle in the eye.
They say, above all, a good Father Christmas needs to have a touch of magic about him.
