It became so well known that Mr Fullerton and his wife of 65 years, Angela, would receive cards and letters addressed to “Santa” at “Santa’s Grotto” on Kremlin Drive.<\/p>\n
“He started decorating the grotto inside in June and would finish the outside in November,” Ms Standley said, “but the decorations always came down after Christmas because my nan wanted her sofa back in the living room”.<\/p>\n
Mr Fullerton also volunteered as Father Christmas for grottos across Liverpool including Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and also took part in the city’s annual Christmas parade.<\/p>\n
“He would’ve had Christmas all year round if he could have,” Ms Standley said,” he just loved it.<\/p>\n
“His attitude was no one should have to pay for the magic of Christmas.<\/p>\n
“We were very lucky to have such a fun and loving grandad for so long”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It became so well known that Mr Fullerton and his wife of 65 years, Angela, would receive cards…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":462145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-462144","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115291301802469376","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
