It's nearly Santa’s busiest day of the year, but have you ever
wondered how he spends the other 364 days?
A
fun festive poll has been commissioned by photo gifting service PhotoBox,
who asked
children aged 5-8 to describe what they think Santa does when he’s finished delivering
their presents, and the results were quite magical. According to the children, Santa’s January is spent fast asleep next to a cosy log fire, cuddling a teddy bear (69%). He does deserve a well earned rest after all the hard work.
By
February, Santa is ready for Valentine's Day and is romancing his one and only Mrs Claus with love letters (72%). 36% of children think Santa celebrates his birthday enjoying ice
cream (36%) but his favourite meal, according to 21% of kids, is fish and chips. However only 3% said he'd enjoy eating broccoli! Santa's favourite tipple is a chilled beer
(26%) so maybe we should leave him a frosty lager instead of a glass of port on Christmas Eve?
For Halloween, Santa dresses up as a pumpkin (16%) and he loves the pretty coloured sparklers on Bonfire Night (25%). Santa's best friend for sharing Sunday Dinner with is apparently the Tooth Fairy, according to a quarter of the children asked. (Hope Mrs Claus is OK with that!)
In
his downtime, when he’s not
‘chilling out with the elves’, Santa has some interesting hobbies including singing (42%), colouring in (27%), baking (25%), shopping (20%), skateboarding (12%) and bungee jumping (6%).
39% of children thought that Santa was eco-friendly, using a traditional pen and recycled paper to make his naughty and nice list of all the boys and girls at Christmas.
Inspired
by the findings, PhotoBox has
captured some wonderful photographs of Santa throughout the year, and has made the beautiful images
available to download online. You can even make your own Santa calendar using their photos and enjoy the secret life of Santa Claus throughout 2016.
