British vicar bars Father Christmas from carol service

A British vicar banned a man dressed as Father Christmas from a carol service at his church, he said.

Reverend Tim Storey said he told Henry Cuff, a member of volunteer group the Lions Club, to disrobe because he wanted to "reclaim the Christian story of the birth of Jesus Christ as being the heart of the celebration".

Threw the "wise man" out with the stinky straw (that is his own thinking). Father Christmas is a representation of the wise men or "Magi", bringing gifts to the "child".

Dumb maneuver.
