EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heart-wrenching print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a shocking incident that unfolded on the 13th of December 1988 in Cleveland. A gang of twenty youths mercilessly mugged a beloved symbol of Christmas joy - a 61-year-old Santa Claus. This unfortunate event occurred as he was spreading festive cheer to the lives of children in the community. The image captures the essence of the 1980s with its vintage charm and serves as a reminder of an era when excitement filled the air during winter holidays. The bearded man, dressed in his iconic red and white costume, represents Father Christmas himself, embodying all that is magical about this season. As we gaze at this photograph, our hearts ache for Santa Claus who dedicated his time to bring happiness through gifts and presents. His sleigh now sits empty, serving as a stark contrast to the vibrant spirit usually associated with Teesside during Xmas. Let us remember not only the commercial aspect but also appreciate how individuals like Santa Claus selflessly spread warmth during these cold months. This image stands as a testament to resilience amidst adversity and reminds us all to cherish those who dedicate their lives to bringing joy into ours.
