HE'S the gift giving world-traveller who only comes once a year.
But residents and visitors to Totton this morning would have seen hundreds of Father Christmas look-alikes running through the streets.
The participants were taking part in the Totton Santa Dash, which began at 9am today.
The event was organised by 5th New Forest North Scout Group.
Here are some pictures from today's event.
