As Kiwis catch the festive spirit, a group of Santas showed off their own cricket catching skills at Auckland's Victoria Park.
The seven Father Christmases took time out from participating in their annual Santa bike ride from Swanson to Mission Bay to have a bash out in the middle yesterday afternoon.
Here's hoping that come December 25, the real Santa's deliveries will be as spot on as those out in the middle of the park.
