Well that rings true for the local Santa Claus at Melbourne's Greensborough Plaza, who is celebrating 46 years of bringing local children Christmas cheer.

In fact, Harold has been in the role for so long, even Today's own Sarah Abo remembers sitting on his lap with her sisters when she was a little girl.
