Santa Claus gets emotional over loss at Christmas

Santa Claus has said it's the people around the Christmas tree that are important, not the presents under it.

Speaking to BBC Radio London's Shay Kaur Grewal in an emotional moment ahead of Christmas Day, he reflected on how he'll be remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

"We all lose family and friends and the wonderful thing is at this special time of year we can celebrate those people. If they're still here enjoy this Christmas with them," he said.
