Father Christmas would keep monkeying around: When I tried to tell him what I want for
Father Christmas would keep monkeying around: When I tried to tell him what I want for Christmas he replied: " Eek, eek, oot-oot-oot." Then he shoved a banana in my face. But I did enjoy the party he threw for me. Even though he also tried to throw the Christmas cake. Other guests were Kip and Jill, two of the famous P.G. Tips TV chimps. December 1978 P004073

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from December 1978, we witness a delightful encounter between a mischievous Father Christmas and an excited child. As the child eagerly tries to convey their Christmas wishes to Santa, they are met with unexpected responses of "Eek, eek, oot-oot-oot". It seems that Father Christmas has decided to keep monkeying around instead of listening attentively. To add to the amusement, he playfully shoves a banana in the child's face. Despite these comical antics, it is evident that everyone is having a jolly good time at the party thrown by Father Christmas. The festive atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of Kip and Jill – two famous P. G. Tips TV chimps who have joined in on the fun as guests. This heartwarming image captures not only the joyous spirit of Christmas but also highlights unlikely friendships between humans and animals. The innocence and laughter shared among them remind us that sometimes it's okay for even Santa Claus himself to let loose and embrace his playful side. As we delve into this nostalgic photograph courtesy of Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, we are transported back in time to relive cherished memories filled with cute creatures, friendship, television magic - all wrapped up in the enchantment of Christmastime.
