This illuminated sleigh "towed"by a Volkswagon Beetle car with a reindeer
This illuminated sleigh " towed" by a Volkswagon Beetle car with a reindeer mascot was placed outside Leamington Town Hall. While carols were amplified from the sleigh, members of Leamington & District Round Table mingled among Christmas shoppers collecting money to pay for the gifts of food and coal which they had distributed to elderly people in the area.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This nostalgic photo captures the festive spirit of Christmas in Leamington back in 1962. The town hall square was adorned with a unique sight that evening - an illuminated sleigh, cleverly 'towed' by a Volkswagen Beetle car, accompanied by a cheerful reindeer mascot. As carols filled the air from the speakers on the sleigh, members of Leamington & District Round Table mingled among excited Christmas shoppers. Their purpose? To collect funds for a heartwarming cause. The money they gathered would be used to provide gifts of food and coal to elderly residents in our community who needed support during this special time of year. The image showcases not only the creativity and festive cheer that permeated Leamington's streets but also highlights the generosity and compassion of its people. It serves as a reminder that Christmas is about more than just decorations and presents; it is about coming together as a community to bring joy and comfort to those who need it most. As we look back on this snapshot from decades ago, let us remember the true meaning of Christmas - spreading love, kindness, and goodwill towards all.
