Fat Santa

POSTED BY: Elaine Murphy | November 07, 2007 | 12:00 PM

J0408889 The Drudge Report recently related an interesting story about a weight-loss boot camp for chubby Santas at the Bluewater shopping center in Greenhithe, Kent, UK. 

This is being done to trim down Santa before December so he can be a healthier role model to children. Even though Santa burns 600 calories an hour delivering Christmas presents, he apparently still eats too many goodies left by the children! If Santa is a role model for kids, how are we doing as role models for children? Santa’s trying, are you?

I don’t think Santa being fat is the issue with the obesity issue in our country. I don’t think making Santa thin is the answer. It’s silly and frivolous.

We love our fat santa. He brings joy to children, adult even the old. People don't need a thin santa. I don't think there is anything wrong with being fat or overweight. Fat people can also live health. Just like the big people at largeplace.com.
