YOU know the Christmas season has well and truly kicked off when you see Santas flooding through the streets of Oxford.
The annual Santa Run in aid of Helen and Douglas House has become a city institution, pulling in runners from across the country.
Not only does the event raise thousands for the hospice charity, but it also marks the beginning of Christmas in Oxford proper.
It got off to a great start this year and fingers crossed it continues to grow and thrive.
