He's been very busy. Of course, he's going to be very busy
0:03
Santa joins us in the GB News studio. Morning, Santa. A very good morning to both of you
0:10
Well, it's a long time since I've sat in your knees, Santa. I remember it very well, eh
0:15
I know. I'm sure you still have the bruises. We'll just shake hands today
0:19
Well, you're a very busy man, so we're very lucky to get to speak to you
0:23
Well, it's my pleasure to be here. Thank you so much. Santa, it's leading up
0:29
How long is there to go? 15 days. 15 days to go
0:34
All your little helpers, I presume, are working away, getting everything ready
0:40
My goodness me. You know, I have so many helpers, of course
0:43
not just in the North Pole, but all over the world. People in this country, as a matter of fact
0:50
even my friends at British Gas, they have Santa helpers that look just like me
0:55
They've been going to people's homes to make sure that the children are happy
0:59
as well as fixing their problems with boilers and things. Well, because things can go wrong even though it's Christmas Day
1:05
Yes, indeed. That's absolutely true, you know. But listen, I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about
1:11
The elf helpers, my friends, everybody all over the world that helps Santa
1:16
we've got the matter in hand. And this is going to be the most wonderful, magicalest Christmas ever
1:21
Oh, it is. Yes, Fanta, we've got lots of people getting in touch and they're a bit worried because
1:26
they don't have a chimney in their house and they're worried about how you're going to
1:30
get in. Yes this one comes up quite a lot but can I let you in on a little secret The truth is that many centuries ago the elves crafted a strange magical key just for me Now this key can fit any lock in the entire world
1:46
Chimney or no chimney, I can get into every home. Every home that is full of Christmas spirit and the love and giving of Christmas
1:56
It will bypass any security system. And I, Santa Claus, can get in to deliver all the presents in just one night
2:05
And talking about Christmas spirit, do you like people leaving you a bit of Christmas spirit
2:12
Well, I am quite partial to minced pies, as are you. Of course, candy canes and cookies are also some of my favourites
2:22
and a lovely big glass of milk, if possible. If it's not too much trouble, carrots for the reindeer, please
2:30
Oh, you can't forget the carrots. You can't. And Father Christmas, how do you get around the whole world in just one night
2:36
Ah, yes. Again, this comes up so much. Again, it's all down to a special type of Christmas magic
2:43
You see, for me, Santa, time has its own special, unique quality on Christmas Eve
2:51
Indeed, time slows down for me and me alone. And what might seem like a couple of hours to you might be microseconds to me
2:59
And the truth is that with a combination of Christmas magic, I can deliver billions of presents all in just one night
3:09
But little boys and girls who are watching this morning, and I'm maybe a bit worried because they haven't been very good
3:14
for Mummy and Daddy this year. Is there still time for them to turn it around
3:18
To redeem themselves. To redeem themselves
