Father Christmas could be doing serious harm to his health by overloading with mince pies and sherry, a leading doctor has warned.
Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, head of the Royal College of GPs, said Santa could face a raft of health issues because of his diet and busy schedule.
Some of his conditions could include gout, sleep deprivation and alcoholism.
But we can all help Santa get a bit fitter, and inspire ourselves too, she says.
Professor Stokes-Lampard said: "He's overweight, and all of us do our bit to add to his obesity by leaving mince pies and cookies out for him, and milk or alcohol.
"If Mr Claus was a patient at my practice, I would be encouraging him to adopt a vastly healthier diet and take more exercise in the new year."
