THE Christmas elves are busy working away in Golborne.
As the mid-summer rays beam down they're ferreting away among the snow and ice building bigger and better decorations for the festive season.
Congratulations to the village-based Animated Displays Ltd who have featured in the first jolly Chrissie story of the year.
Owner Mike Green has revealed his successful firm is in full swing developing bigger and better interactive sets for shopping centres throughout the country.
The demand for grottos with talking displays has rocketed and at the moment the workforce is busy erecting a 30ft high ice mountain grotto complete with an interactive penguin band and talking penguins.
The staff obviously have a merry Christmas all the year round, and you've got to admit its a happy way to earn a crust. However, when the big day comes they must be absolutely sick of it and never want to hear the tinkle of Jingle Bells again.
