As Oscar Sheard grew older, his mum dreaded the time her youngest child would stop believing in Father Christmas. When the moment came, though, his reaction delighted her - he decided to turn Santa himself and give presents to children less fortunate than himself.
Oscar, 10, saved up £30 of pocket money and bought gifts to donate to the salvation army. And with donations from family members and friends he has been able to give nearly 100 presents.
Mum Emma, from Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire, said: “I was dreading the moment Oscar no longer believed in Santa. I was frightened of the change from that magical childhood belief.
