A good day for:

Alison Tyler, who completed her charity-fundraising lunchathon by eating her 100th Christmas lunch in six days. Her feat raised pounds 10,000 for the Children's Hospice Appeal and the Orlando fund to send sick children to Disneyworld.

A bad day for:

Santa Claus, who was mugged by a group of pre-teen children in the Australian outback town of Bourke. Santa and an assistant elf fled to a police station and resumed work, handing out sweets with a police escort.
