The Recorder is proud to announce that it has persuaded Father Christmas to take an hour out of wrapping presents and writing lists for an exclusive interview with one of our reporters.

Next Friday the big questions will be put to the man of the season. Where does he buy his hats? What’s his favourite carol? And what is at the top of his Christmas list?

But to ensure nothing is forgotten we need our younger readers to lend us a hand by sending in the questions they want Father Christmas to answer.

If you have a suggestion email news editor Emma Lake via emma.lake@archant.co.uk.

The interview will be printed on December 19.
