SANTA took over a supermarket’s online delivery service to surprise a family from Harefield.

Morrisons’ new seasonal helper delivered to Anita Hirani-Hewett and her triplets, Thomas, Ethan and Neev.

Anita said: “I couldn’t believe it when Santa and his reindeer came trotting to our house – it was like something out of a fairytale. The children were absolutely thrilled.”

This is the first year Morrisons has had a home delivery service at Christmas, having launched earlier this year.

Santa and friends will also be treating three other families to an early Christmas surprise in the run-up to December 25.

As with any good home delivery, Santa carried out the ‘fresh check’ on Anita’s doorstep to ensure she was 100% happy with the quality of the food before she unpacked it.

He even helped carry the shopping through to the kitchen.

The four slots were selected at random, but customers can keep a track of the supermarket’s sleigh online with the dedicated Twitter hashtag #ISpySanta.
