Tis the season......for Father Christmas fisticuffs, apparently. It seems to be a growing worldwide trend that any assemblage of more than a few Santas should end in an all-in brawl. The optimum number required, it seems, is about 30. First, from Wales...

THERE was no shortage of suspects matching the description when police were called to a fight in a small Welsh town.

More than 30 drunken men dressed as Father Christmas were slugging it out in the main street after the world’s biggest gathering of Santa Clauses ended in a mass brawl.

...and then, right here in New Zealand...

Police in Auckland had to deal with a group of drunken Santas last night.

A large group of people, dressed in Santa suits, began fighting in the Victoria Street car park in the central city.

About 30 of them, both men and women, were involved, and police said they were heavily intoxicated.

Come on people, think about the children!
