From the UK comes word that Santa has been ordered to slim down.
Santa is being told to shift the pounds before Christmas – because the obese saint is failing to set a “good example” for children.
The traditional children’s hero, best known for feasting on mince pies left out on Christmas eve, has always sported a bulging midriff.
But shopping centre bosses are giving the well-wisher his marching orders – to the nearest gym – to tackle the increasing problem of obesity.
The revelation comes after a medical report earlier this month stated that by 2050 more than 50 per cent of Brits will be obese.
This is how to deal with that problem? Oh, please.
I overheard a talkshow on this very subject from 900/CHML in nearby Hamilton Ontario, Canada, today, while eating my lunch, oddly enough, today. The reaction was incredulous, to say the least.

Santa Claus 2017 will closely resemble Richard Simmons 1997.
