Remember the old Farmers Santa?
This is the first Christmas the giant Santa Claus will not be greeting Auckland children making a trip into town.
The beckoning and winking old gent has been a familiar face in the central city since 1960 when he first graced the side of the Farmers department store on Hobson St.
The cost of storing Santa during the year and the upkeep of the ageing structure led to last year being his last appearance.
Many Aucklanders have fond memories of seeing the popular Father Christmas.
What are some of your recollections?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
