Stepping in for Father Christmas keeps Harold happy
-
When Harold Connell is asked why he's spent almost five decades sweating it out in a red velvet suit at Christmas, he just grins. “Because the magic never gets old!” the 84-year-old tells Woman's Day. “Christmas is such a joyful time, and people are so happy — why wouldn’t you spread a little cheer?”
Better known to shoppers as Santa Harold, he first took on the role in 1974 at a toy shop in his hometown of Greensborough, Victoria. At the time, Harold was a firefighter, looking for a side gig to help provide for his wife, Elvia, and their three kids.
