news…..the real story!

‘Christmas comes but once a year’ is a familiar phrase, and indeed for many people the 25th of December is the highlight of the calendar.
But for one British man once a year is not enough. Andy Park, who is better known by his nickname Mr Christmas, has celebrated Christmas every single day for the last 14 years.
The 44-year-old electrician claims to have eaten a full roast dinner every day for the last decade and a half, munching his way through over 5,000 turkeys, 117,000 Brussels sprouts, and around 30,000 roast potatoes in the process.
He also sends himself a Christmas card every day and looks forward to unwrapping a present he has bought himself each evening, while watching the Queen’s Speech.
Mr Park estimates his festive fetish costs him £150 (1,570 yuan) a week. This year, however, the divorcee says he is feeling the pinch due to the global financial crisis, and is scaling back his celebrations.
His Christmas habit is putting a strain on more than just his wallet. Mr Park was previously warned by his doctor that his Christmas addiction could kill him. His daily over-indulgence has caused his weight to skyrocket to 19 stone (121 kg).
So how did Andy Park’s obsession with Christmas begin?
