And how exactly does old Saint Nick get down the chimbely, especially if you’ve no chimbley to be seen. The curse of modern living for Father Christmas is the old central heating. But not to worry, if you don’t have a fireplace with chimbely (or even if you do!) here is a magical build your own version for Santa to use. Just remember to go to bed in good time, and leave him a mince pie and some whiskey. That’s what we always do in the Professor Llusern’s house.
