Northern Europe is finally enjoying some summer sun, which has bought the Santas of the world to Denmark for their annual congress.

Over 125 festive fathers jumped into their sleighs and headed for Copenhagen to swim, play volleyball and talk politics.

Among the topics discussed were the day upon which presents should be delivered (it was decided the 24th was more appropriate) and the regulation width for a chimney.

The attendees said that the meeting represented a little down-time for the Santas of the world, and is a perfect chance to iron out the details before the festive push, as well as soak up some sun.
