A CHRISTMAS display showcasing Santa's little helpers has been set up by a Reading resident who decorates her front garden during the festive season as well as at Easter and Halloween.
Jo's Pocket Garden near King's Meadow has had a festive makeover with 13 handmade elves now sat in the front garden.
The creator Jo explained it took around five weeks to make all of the elves and 12 hours to arrange them outside.

She added that her and her husband are trying to raise money for Compassion UK - a children's charity empowering children in poverty.
They have set up a Just Giving page which has raised £50 and put a donation box outside their house a couple of days ago which has already raised around £80.
Jo has been making displays for the last two years and revealed this is her favourite so far.

She wanted to capture the magic of Christmas and feels she has done so in a display that appeals to both children and adults.
She added it's tricky to design something that looks good during the day without lights but is pleased with how this has turned out.
The display will be on show until January 1 when Jo plans to take it down.
