Is Santa sexy?

YES

‘I’ve always had a soft spot for him’

If people were to ask me to describe. See, I’ve always had a soft spot for dear old St Nick, but it’s been in my later years that I’ve really recognised just how much the chap has going for him. For starters, he’s strikingly handsome in his red suit, and he has a long, white beard which I find incredibly sexy. On a deeper level, though, he’s one heck of a businessman. With a global status that’s stood the test of time, his image continues to drive the economy in sales over the festive period year after year. Who else can do that? He’s ever so mighty and strong for a man of his age, able to carry sacks of presents over his shoulder to every home in the world. And while most would be put off by an age gap, I quite like the idea of having a sugar daddy who can shower me with gifts! In fact, my partner Eddy reminds me of Santa in a lot of ways. They’re both jolly, kind and giving – but their biggest similarity by far is their matching bellies!
