He starves himself all year so as to pose about with the figure of an adonis and then expects us to fatten him up to the classic Santa profile at the last minute.

And I have my suspicions about this alcoholic brew that he claims is the only thing that does the job that that old witch distills for him.

He assures me it piles on the inches but I use it myself to light the fire and power my blow lamp. It makes a good paint stripper too.
