Santa Claus goes to fitness boot camp

I hate to be a holiday jumper, but I have to bypass Thanksgiving for this one. Trust me, it's worth it.

It seems that our friends across the pond have decided that Christmas needs a makeover this year. In efforts to provide children with a more positive and healthy role model, a shopping mall in England is putting their holiday Santa Clauses through fitness boot camp!!

The 12 commissioned Santas have already begun their one-month boot camp training sessions with their trainer, according to mall's property manager. Guests of the mall can watch the Santas as they perform such exercises as the "Santa Sack Lift" (I swear I'm not making this stuff up), helping to tone-up and trim down the soon-to-be svelte Father Christmas. Whether the children will respond favorably to this newer and fitter version of Santa remains to be seen, but what is certain is that Santa Claus will have much less difficulty sliding down chimneys this year.
