WHALLEY STILL BELIVES IN FATHER CHRISTMAS

British actress JOANNE WHALLEY still believes in Santa Claus - at the age of 43.

The former wife of Val Kilmer admits she still writes letters to St. Nicholas in the hope of getting everything on her gift wish list - and she insists her kids do the same.

She says, "I like Christmas. We always get our letters off to the North Pole; my kids are 16 and 12. I write letters to Santa too!

"My kids kind of do it for a laugh but I have to admit I'm semi-serious. I'd like to believe in Santa. I read somewhere that whatever you believe in is true for you, so I've decided Santa exists for me.

"I wait until December 20th to get the letters off. You know if you send letters they actually go to the North Pole. You can Google the North Pole too. I should just send Santa an e-mail."

Meanwhile, Whalley admits one Christmas Day (25Dec) nightmare turned into a dream Christmas - when her home in Los Angeles was hit by a power cut.

She recalls, "I put the radio on and we lit every candle we could find and we had a fire. There was A Christmas Carol playing on the radio with Orson Welles' radio company and it was an amazing production. We just sat and listened and it was one of my favourite Christmases.

"No one could play with their PlayStations and there was nothing much we could do. It was actually really nice to sit around and listen to the radio."
