Crazy about Christmas? This guy is!!!
Andy Parks - who is known as Mr Christmas - has enjoyed a full festive dinner with all the trimmings every day for the past 14 years.
He estimates he has eaten 117,600 sprouts, munched 94,080 mince pies and opened 204,400 crackers since the habit started.
"I've been through 37 electric ovens and worn out 23 video recorders by watching the Queen's Speech every day," he said.
"I've also sent myself 235,206 Christmas cards. But these days the postage is so dear I'm having to deliver them myself."

"The lunch with all the trimmings and alcohol is costing in excess of £150 a week, but I'm fighting hard not to let the financial crisis ruin the celebrations."
Mr Christmas is also trying to save the £70,000 needed to book a yuletide-themed funeral, which would allow him to be buried in a coffin filled with Brussels sprouts.
He also wants Noddy Holder to sing Slade's hit Merry Christmas Everyone to mourners when the time comes.
"People do think I'm crackers, but I enjoy treating myself and I'm the only one in the world who does it," he explained.
"Others have tried to copy me, but they can't last"
