Children share their views on Santa Claus, what he looks like, where he comes from and what he does.
A regular spot on 'The Live Mike' had Twink get the opinions of children on a range of subjects. This time Twink asked some children about Christmas and Santa Claus.
He's a man that brings you things that you want.
He's a good man and he makes millions of toys.
If you're bold, he leaves you a bag of soot.
He has a big beard and he has a red hat and a bobble on his hat, and a red coat and red trousers.
While some believe that Santa comes from the North Pole, others are unsure and suggest that he is from New York or Australia. Others are doubtful about his existence at all.
They also discuss the reindeer, magical flying powers and have theories on how Santa gets down the chimney to deliver the toys.
He can make himself any size.
