Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yup, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas. At least it did in Copenhagen Denmark.

The annual Santa Clause congress celebration was held in the Bakken amusement park, just north of Copenhagen.



The realization that many Santas are too pot-bellied to slide down a chimney prompted many of the participants to "adhere not to a diet that would kill off their good spirits but to a series of exercises that would put them in super shape by December.”

The Santas will begin toiling Tuesday morning. Dressed in their traditional fur-lined red suits, they will take a long bike-ride around the Copenhagen harbor, parade through the streets and take a quick dip at the port to check out the water quality.

Once they have dried off they will even attempt to set a new, wacky world record: the largest possible number of Father Christmases hula-hooping in unison.

That would be a sight worth viewing!

The convention is scheduled to wrap up on Wednesday.
