Father Christmas himself has taken the time out of his busy schedule to thank those in Stonehouse who are helping to spread 'Christmas cheer'.

Marie Therese Brown posted the message which magically appeared thanking her family for their Christmas decorations outside her Stonehouse home.

"Thank you so much to whoever this was," Marie said.

"Our children are ecstatic Father Christmas likes our decorations! What a wonderful thing to do."

When Marie posted the lovely message to social media which included a bell which the note said 'would only ring for those who believe' and immediately others commented to say they had also received cards.

 

"I had one too, such a lovely gesture, really cheered me up," Clare Martin said.

Stonehouse is currently lit up with fantastic festive displays and many of those who have gone the extra mile have received notes from the person claiming to be Father Christmas himself.
