Adam was born in 1970, and in 1971 the Newcastle department store Fenwicks started a 44-year-old (so far) tradition of special Christmas displays in their windows. So he can really say he's grown up with them. The last display we saw was Christmas In Another World (2002) which was not as popular with the public but had a catchy tune!
