When most people think of Christmas dinner, they think of once a year.For Andy Park ā aka Mr ChristmasĀ ā itās every. single. day.
Since 14th July 1993, this festive fanatic from Melksham, Wiltshire, has been tucking into a full Christmas meal every day of his life. Thatās over 30 yearsĀ of turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, and sherry. But have you ever wondered just how much of it heās consumed?
Letās do the maths. (Brace yourself. Itās a lot.)
š The Great Turkey Tally
Andy says he eats a full Christmas lunch every dayĀ ā and that always includes turkey.
Days since July 14th, 1993: Over 11,500 days
Turkeys eaten: One per day = 11,500 turkeys (Okay, maybe not entireĀ turkeys every day ā but enough slices to count!)
If each bird weighed around 5kg on average, thatās over 57 tonnesĀ of turkey. Enough to feed a small city for a month.
š„§ Mince Pies? Heās Lost Count
Andy is also known to start his mornings with a mince pie. Assuming one per day:
Mince pies eaten: 11,500
Calories: At 250 calories each = 2.8 million caloriesĀ from mince pies alone
Thatās the entire daily calorie allowanceĀ of a human being⦠for almost 4 years.
Sherry & Champagne
Mr Christmas is partial to a bit of festive cheer:
Estimated units of sherryĀ per day: 2
Over 11,500 days: Thatās 23,000 units
Heās also known to enjoy the occasional glass of champagne(Letās call it a very merry average)
š And the Presents?
Every day, Andy wraps a present for himself to open.Yes ā every single day.
Thatās over 11,500 presentsĀ bought, wrapped, and opened ā mostly by him, for him. Heās joked that he often forgets whatās inside, which makes the surprises feel genuine. (Honestly, genius.)
š Over 200,000 Christmas Cards
Mr Christmas isnāt stingy when it comes to spreading the love:
Heās estimated to have sent over 235,000 cardsĀ over the years.Thatās more than many people send in a lifetime ā multiplied by about 300.
We can only imagine the Royal Mailās reaction.
š A Life Measured in Tinsel
All in all, Andy Park has consumed:
Item | Estimated Amount |
Turkeys | 11,500+ |
Mince Pies | 11,500+ |
Sherry (units) | 23,000+ |
Presents Opened | 11,500+ |
Cards Sent | 235,000+ |
Itās over-the-top. Itās excessive.Itās absolutely glorious.
So the next time you feel bloated after your one big Christmas mealā¦spare a thought for Mr Christmas.Heās been doing it dailyĀ for over three decades ā and shows no signs of slowing down.
