IT’S THAT season again and the angels are all around. But forget the ones on the Christmas tree - we are looking for a cuter kind.
We want to cut through the December frost and warm the hearts of our readers by presenting pictures of the best, most creatively dressed Christmas children in Wirral.
Last year the Wirral News Group ran a seasonal competition to Decorate Your Dog but this year we are looking for a 2009 Santa Baby.
We want all proud parents to get out the Santa hats, angels’ wings and glitter to bauble up their babe.
It’s time to recover the elf outfit, find the face paint or wrap a towel around a little wise man’s head.
Your imagination is your limit whether you place your Santa Baby in their own nativity scene, in front of a tinselled background or just have them pulling a funny face under a red hat - we want to see it all.
The most creatively costumed-up and cutest youngsters will be featured in the newspaper, and on our website, with the winner in line for a professional photo shoot and a £30 voucher for Neston-based baby experts, Bahloo.
There will also be a number of special stocking fillers for the runners-up.
So get wielding your Yuletide dressing-up wand and add some sparkle, cheeky smiles and seasonal charm to your tot this Christmas.
Ten-month-old Sophie Stevenson, of Wallasey, got the snowball rolling by donning a miniature Santa Claus outfit.
Send pictures of your pride and joy, including a name, address and telephone number, to newsdesk@wirralnews.co.uk or by post to Santa Baby, Wirral News Group, 76 Hamilton Street, Birkenhead CH41 5AN.
