This Christmas ornament must be at least 35 years old and is a much treasured item. He comes down from the loft and is placed in the exact same place on the mantelpiece each year.
He certainly doesn't look impressed to be sharing his place with the family of Christmouses, who are very pleased with the placement of their holly
