Police were called after a tank full of Santas caused chaos by getting stuck on a village road during a pub crawl.
The armored personnel carrier was packed with more than eight Father Christmases at an annual party when it got stuck in the Cornish village of Angarrack.
At least one Santa sounded drunk when talking to a local traffic cop.
Fisherman Mr Jepson had arrived at Angarrack to see the Christmas light display when he saw the tank full of Santas ‘in the whip’.
Mr Jepson, from Newquay, said: “As we parked up I saw this tank rolling down the road with Santa Claus on top of it shouting and singing.” He was hilarious.
“We walked five minutes down the road and I could see the back of the tank, it was stuck behind three or four cars.”
Jepson said some of the Santas jumped out of the truck and were hitting the cars with their hands to try to move them.
He continued: ‘It was funny to see all these Santas – there were about eight on top of the tank and a couple inside.

At least one of the Santas sounded drunk when talking to a local traffic warden.
“They had been on a pub crawl and one of them fell off the back of the tank.
“Then they hit one of the cars, just a little bit, the damage was minimal, so they were very lucky.”
The police then arrived, but Mr Jepson was also “in a good mood, they all were”.
The truck was seen around 7:45 p.m. and was stuck for a couple of hours, according to Jepson.
Devon and Cornwall Police were called around 1940 GMT on Thursday after reports that a vehicle had been damaged. No one was arrested.
