SWNSLinda Belnik, 35, and Joshua, seven, say the shopping-centre Santa talked enthusiastically about getting him a Star Wars Death Star Lego set. They claim he said: “See this white phone? I will call the elves now and get them to make it for you.” Linda said: “I couldn’t believe he’d promised such an expensive toy. Santas usually tell kids they’ll see what they can do, not promise anything. “I had made the decision he would not be getting the set as it costs so much. It’s put me in a really awkward position.” Linda did not cause a scene because she did not want to ruin the image of Christmas for Joshua and her five-year-old twins, Jasmine and Jasper. Linda added: “Santa has no idea what anyone’s financial situation is. It sets kids up for disappointment if parents can’t afford it.

He’s walking around saying Santa said he will get the toy.” I couldn’t believe he’d promised such an expensive toy Linda complained to managers at Westfield shopping centre in White City, west London, after getting home. As a gesture of goodwill, Westfield offered a free ice-skating package for the family. But Linda, a building company director from Camberley, Surrey, said: “It doesn't help explain to my son why he’s not got his present on Christmas Day.” SWNSWestfield said: “All grotto staff are trained and follow script guidelines which, under no circumstances, include the promise of specific gifts. “The Santa has over 20 years’ experience and has not promised specific gifts to the child.
Westfield is committed to providing the best experience for children and families.” Linda last night stood by her and Josahua’s version, saying: “That’s what he said, end of.”A selection of the latest news and blog posts.
