英语新闻阅读:美国德州全职圣诞老人全年无休
Jim Fletcher, a retired engineer, has become a local celebrity in his hometown of Houston, Texas, where he dresses as Father Christmas - and keeps up the act - almost every day of the year.
It's all for a good cause, as he brings joy to children whose families have been affected by natural disasters across the US.
Along with his wife, Madge, who is also known as Mrs Claus, the couple maintains its festive alter-egos all year long.
And it takes a lot to maintain oneself as a full-time Santa.
Mr Fletcher has his own stylist, who he visits four times a year, a personal trainer and an extensive wardrobe made up almost entirely of red items.
'I don't leave the house if I'm not wearing red on something,' Jim explains.
He also has a sleigh of his own, which is, in true Texas-style, a red pick-up truck.
Santa Jim - and approximately 180 other Texas-based Santas - bring toys and hugs to children around the country whose families have been affected by natural disasters and other devastating losses.
