Santas in Boot Camps!

Santa in a Boot Camp? Whoever heard of that one before? Well that's exactly what is happening. In some countries, Santa Claus has been accused of being a bad role model for children as child obesity rate rises and has been asked to set a good example for children this Christmas by losing weight. He has come under pressure to get rid of the wobbly under his red suit and has been told to attend a month long boot camp with vigorous exercises before he is deemed fit enough to greet children. Poor St. Nicholas would turn in his grave if he ever got to know this.

Kids really don't care that Santa is hugely obese. They, in fact, adore a roly poly Santa even more because his lap is so comfortable to sit on and his hug even warmer!
For centuries kids have identified Santa as a red-suited and jolly, rotund old man who comes all the way from the North Pole in his sleigh bearing wonderful gifts for them. Why deprive them of their dreams and break their illusions?

I, for one, would love innocent children to remember Santa as a chubby grandfather like figure whose belly wiggles like jelly and who spreads the Christmas cheer around with his characteristic 'ho! ho! ho!' What about you?
