All I want for Christmas is a chimney big enough for Santa!

When six-year-old Leo Park’s mother told him she was buying a brand-new house, his excitement quickly turned to anxiety. Not only might Santa not know the address, but what if the chimney wasn’t big enough to accommodate his ample frame and bulging sack of toys? Leo wrote a letter to builder Jeremy Paxton which said: ‘I am worried that my mummy’s house doesn’t have a big enough chimney. I think Santa will get stuck. Please can you help?’ Yesterday all his fears were allayed as Mr Paxton, who commissioned an architect and a mathematician to design the perfect Santa-friendly chimney, showed off the results at the Lower Mill Estate near Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
