Santa's helpers are fuming after a senseless attack by vandals on a Christchurch building called Santa's Mega Grotto.
Six windows were smashed over the weekend at the QEII Park building containing floats for the Santa Parade.
None of the floats stored inside was damaged.
Parade manager Pam Morris said the trust can't afford to keep up with repairs, after more vandalism and break-ins over the past year.
"It's quite sad, a building that houses things that make thousands of little children happy, and then some other little bigger children come along and make a mess of it."
The repairs are expected to cost $3000.
She said those responsible are lowlifes who deserve to face the police.
"We do have cameras set-up and we'll be going over those over the next couple of days, it definitely covers the area that was smashed."
Auckland’s holiday season is looking a little brighter.
