NESTL using traditional Christmas decorations to advertise its products? I don't think so.

Nestl put their hand in their pocket and pulled out £40,000 to bring Christmas to York, then many more thousands to light up the Minster, giving pleasure to young and old alike.

If they have put a few chocs on the tree and their name is shown as sponsors, it's no more than anyone else would get.

It would have been a bit bleak in York this Christmas if it had not been for Nestl, so let us be Christian and say thank you Nestl, nice one.

We applaud you for bringing the Christmas spirit to York.
