A Scots dad captured Santa Claus delivering presents at his house on his Ring doorbell to show his young son on Christmas morning.
Jamie Murray has dressed up as Father Christmas on December 24 for the last five years and visits his family home in Galashiels once son Oliver, 7, has gone to bed.
The 38-year-old NHS worker came up with the idea of installing a Ring doorbell to catch Santa delivering presents on camera, proving the existence of Father Christmas to his delighted boy.
Speaking about his son's reaction to their tradition, Jamie said: “It’s all worth it for the excitement on his face. We’re planning on doing it for as long as we can, and I might end up just doing it for myself!
"He was two when I first started and he didn't really understand. Now he's a wee bit older, it's become a family tradition.
"We don’t have a chimney, so it’s great that we have a Ring Doorbell that can capture Father Christmas coming in through the door.”
Jamie works as a Paediatric Physiotherapy Technical Instructor and has spent the last two Christmases helping patients during the Covid-19 crisis.
He added: “Over the past couple of years I’ve worked on NHS wards with Covid, so this year, now that people can spend time with their families, it feels very special, there’s not that fear.
“This year a lot of families will be looking to have fun without spending as much money, and if you have a video doorbell it’s a great thing to do - you don’t need to get an expensive camera or a tripod.”
