The 60th World Santa Congress is under way and it looks like serious fun.

The annual event at Bakken, Copenhagen, is arranged to bring together Santas from across the globe to share ideas and advice and enjoy each other’s company.

The congress began in 1957 when Professor Tribini, an entertainer who wanted Christmas to happen more than once a year, invited some Santas to a party at Bakken, the world’s oldest amusement park.
