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.
