The Octogenarian Santa

The mechanical Santa Claus has stood in the window of Leavy's Chemists in Dundalk every Christmas for over 80 years, tapping the window and inviting shoppers to step inside.
I cannot help but wonder at how different the gifts are which are purchased by customers now to the ones bought when he was new.
