Meeting Santa should be a magical experience but many families were left disappointed when they visited the Metrocentre's Christmas grotto in Gateshead. Despite booking a slot weeks in advance, some parents said they had to wait more than an hour before their child could see Father Christmas - and when they did they were shocked by his 'dishevelled' appearance. Instead of being greeted by a jolly-looking man wearing a plush red suit, children were introduced to a half-hearted version who sat in his socks instead of the traditional big black boots. The absence of the iconic Santa hat added to the unkempt look, as shown in photos sent in by families. Pictured: The disappointing Santa NCJ Media
