Why does Mencap need its very own Santa?

To help with Mencap's repositioning, of course - though we might need to change Santa's official colours to do this!

What special qualities do you have that would make you the perfect Santa for 2007?

Ours was the first house in our street to have its Christmas tree up... and we already know what we will be eating on Christmas day (surprise surprise!)

Santa is responsible for upholding the magic and spirit of Christmas. If you could grant the Mencap community one wish, what would it be?

To give all staff a £1,000 bonus every Christmas - or if that's not possible, they could always have a sprout from staff Xmas lunch (i.e. each - not between them: times are surely never that bad!)

I am only one of a number of  Santa ‘Wannabees’. If you would like to see who my competitors are this year you can visit their links below. But please PLEASE don’t vote for them, VOTE FOR ME – after all, you don’t want to risk being put you onto my ‘naughty children’ list do you?!
