He knows if you’ve been naughty or nice, and from the number of photos we received for our latest Haven Win competition – the kids of Australia know it! Psychologists say that a child crying when placed on the knee of the bearded man in the red suit is a perfectly normal reaction. It’s simply an inbuilt self-preservation mechanism to beware of strangers. Which explains why so many family albums contain photos of terrified tykes unimpressed with the festive photo opportunity.

Congratulations to Gemma who takes out the $1,000 first prize thanks to not only the bow-ties-and-braces double the trouble cuteness, but because Father Christmas looks a little too Evil Santa for our liking! And congrats to our $500 winning runner up Jaimi-Lee who managed to snap the mayhem of not one, but four wee Christmas elves fleeing Santa’s clutches!

Merry Christmas everyone!
