Original Toronto Star caption: It's not always a big thrill. A visit to Santa Claus is not always every youngster's biggest thrill; and 3-year-old Michael Ligeza of Durham was somewhat disenchanted when he sat on the jolly old gentleman's knee yesterday in Simpsons main store. But Santa treated whole matter stoically. Michael and his brother were in town visiting with their grandparents.
