Father Christmas braves the winter wonderland, riding his bicycle through a picturesque beech woodland, adorned with a magical coat of snow and ice. With digital manipulation, he becomes an enchanting sight that captures the imagination. In bustling Shibuya ward, Tokyo, Japan, Christmas Santas walk across the famous Shibuya crossing in unison, spreading joy and cheer to all who witness their festive parade. Russian Dolls dressed as Father Christmas gather at Hachiko dog meeting point for a merry reunion. Flying on his bicycle past a full moon above a wintry forest creates an ethereal scene that only Digital Manipulation can bring to life. The Vindication of Christmas woodcut from 1653 reminds us of the timeless tradition upheld by Father Christmas throughout history. Pedaling past fir trees covered in glistening snow brings delight to both young and old alike with presents in tow - thanks to Digital Manipulation's touch of magic. Advertising Santas Grotto invites children into a world filled with excitement and anticipation during this special time of year. Boxgrove Tipteers perform their heartwarming Mummers Play in October 1936, showcasing the enduring spirit within local communities worldwide. Pears Annual from 1896 immerses readers in vibrant colors as they celebrate the holiday season together. Krampus and St. Nicholas take center stage in Carl Baumann's journal written between 1813-25; reminding us that even Santa Claus has his own unique companions along his journey.
