Its hung on my mums tree for 30 year  and mine for the same amount of time...its worn away to just the cotton wool inside the icing long gone  generations of children  holding it and sometimes having a sly lick of Santa's scarlet iced coat!!!i haven't the heart to throw it out!!my children would  kill me!! its the first decoration they look for!!!
