I am an observer, with a well developed sense of the absurd. The sign is in a local mall. I don't remember ever being admonished to wash my hands before visiting Santa. I guess it is just a sign of the times. Believe in the magic and pass the hand sanitizer.... The lower right photo is one of my mum, older sister and I in Margate, Kent, England visiting Father Christmas in 1958 when my Grandfather was ill.

sign of the times indeed! Great photo capture, and the one of you and your sister and mom visiting Father Christmas is a real treasure.
