“Christmas comes but once a year” is a familiar phrase, and indeedfor many people the 25th of December is the highlight of the calendar.
But for one British man once a year is not enough.Andy Park,whois better known by his nickname Mr Christmas,has celebrated Christmas every single day for the last 14 years.
The 44-year-old electrician claims to have eaten a full roast dinner every day for the last decade and a half,munching(大声咀嚼)his way through over 5,000 turkeys,117,000 Brussels sprouts(汤菜),and around 30,000 roast potatoes in the process.
He also sends himself a Christmas card every day and looks forward to unwrapping a present he has bought himself each evening,while watching the Queen’s Speech.Mr Park estimates his festive fetish(节日癖好)costs him £150(1,570 yuan)a week.This year,however,the divorcee says he is feeling the pinch(手头缺钱)due to the global financial crisis,and is scaling back his celebrations.
His Christmas habit is putting a strain on more than just his wallet.Mr Park was previously warned by his doctor that his Christmas addiction could kill him.His daily over-indulgence(过度放纵)has caused his weight to increase to 19 stone (121 kg).
1.Andy Park is known as Mr Christmas because ________.
