Elf and Safety Course for Santa Claus

Father Christmases are being sent on health
and safety courses in the UK so they don't
hurt themselves while balancing children on
their knees.

Classes will include the correct posture to
adopt in their chairs as excited youngsters
queue to reel off their Christmas lists. Santa
will also be taught how to lift heavy presents
without doing himself an injury.



Dozens of the one-day
courses are being held
all over the country.
A spokes person for the
Health and Safety Executive
stressed,
'Of course there's only
one Santa - but hundreds
of stand-ins work
in stores in the run-up
to Christmas.'
