MICHAEL ROSEN VOTED BEST ORGANIC SANTA 2020
The Campaign for Real Santas which believes that only Santas with genuine, organic or knitted beards should be deputies for Santa, world famous for his organic beard, has said that in the on-line poll for the best Organic Santa 2020, author, broadcaster and Arsenal fan Michael Rosen has bearded Brian Blessed for the annual honour.
Michael Rosen represents both the bonhomie but also the gravitas that any genuine Santa has and is also on the shortlist for Beard of the Year 2020. He scored 66% of the vote with runner-up Brian Blessed on 23%.
The campaign says that there are still far too many Santas with fake beards around, when genuine Santas with real organic beards are available
The campaigners have urged parents and children to visually check the beards of Santas they encounter as a test as to whether they are in the presence of a real Santa or not. If the Santa is not real and the beard is made of cotton wool a visual inspection should make this clear.
CFRS organiser Keith Flett said, when it comes to the best Organic Santa we were looking for real facial hair of course but also someone who can represent the complexities of Santa in a positive way. Of course Michael Rosen is known as an author and a broadcaster but in 2020 perhaps in particular he has been rightly voted the best Organic Santa of the year.
The vote was open for 24 hours from 00.01 on Friday 18th December
