FAMILIES were invited to forget last-minute Christmas shopping for a few minutes and visit Middlesbrough's Stewart Park - transformed by overnight snow into a winter wonderland in which it was not difficult to picture Father Christmas and his reindeer.
Youngsters were given a chance to follow Rudolph's trail to Santa's grotto where they could let him know what they would like him to bring down their chimneys tonight.
There were also fun workshops, involving making Christmas decorations and cards and which were organised by Middlesbrough Council
