1. Is Santa moving into the modern world?

Answer: Santa has always kept up with the times although, admittedly, he has found it difficult in recent years keeping track of new technology... So if anyone out there’s got a sack of kindling, rather than the Kindle they wanted, please forgive him.

2. Why did Santa choose a Japanese car?

Answer: Because he likes a car built at the UK’s largest car plant, even if it is in Sunderland.
