我天天过圣诞节 12年吃掉4000多只火鸡

英国有一名“酷爱”圣诞节的男子，他在此前的12年间把每一天都当做圣诞节来过，12年来，他总共吃掉了4000多只火鸡

据法新社11月29日报道，这个男子名叫布里顿·安迪·帕克，今年45岁，是一名电器工程师，居住在英国西南部威尔特郡，离过婚并有1个女儿。在过去的12年里，他每天都会准备圣诞节礼物和美食。早晨上班之前，他要吃6块圣诞节百果馅饼和1个火鸡肉三明治；中午11点半他就结束一天的工作，回家准备烤晚餐吃的火鸡；中午2点吃午饭，然后给餐桌铺上圣诞节彩纸；下午3点，边喝雪利酒，边看伊丽莎白二世女王的圣诞祝辞录像；晚餐吃火鸡大餐，还不忘临睡前把的一份礼物放在圣诞树下。

帕克说，12年来，他总共吃掉了4000多只烤鸡，喝完了4000多瓶雪利酒；12年间，无论是下馆子还是到朋友家串门，只要条件允许，他都会要求吃圣诞餐。“12年以来我一直这样生活，”帕克说，“未来12年我还会继续这样。”好吃好喝让他的体重一度达到132公斤。女朋友和女儿叫他“疯子”，但他全然不理会。

12月9日，帕克将发行单曲“天天过圣诞”，以尝试冲击流行音乐榜。看来，无论这首单曲是否会像他此前发表的“圣诞人”、“哦耶，圣诞节”等歌曲一样遭受败绩，他仍会“执迷不悟”。其中缘由也许真如他自己所说：“我从来，从来没有对庆祝圣诞节感到厌倦过。我毫无保留地喜爱它。”

【原文】The occasion? It's Christmas for him, every single day.

Park, a 45-year-old electrician dubbed "Mr Christmas", has been celebrating the December 25 holiday on a daily basis for the past 12 years.

His festive fetish has so-far cost an estimated 250,000 pounds (365,000 euros, 427,500 dollars).

The divorced father-of-one from Melksham in Wiltshire, southwest England, starts his day with a hearty breakfast of six mince pies and a turkey sandwich before heading off to work.

He finishes by 11:30am in order to start roasting a turkey -- the traditional Christmas dish.

At 2:00pm he eats lunch and then pulls crackers, colourful paper tubes that typically adorn the Christmas table.

Crackers are meant to be pulled apart with a bang by two people, with the owner of the larger part receiving a paper hat and novelty goodie. Park, however, usually opens them -- about a whopping 40 a day -- on his own.

At 3:00pm he watches a video of Queen Elizabeth II's annual Christmas message to the Commonwealth, glass of sherry in hand.

Dinner is roast turkey with all the trimmings, including brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy and mushy peas, as well as sherry and wine and a bottle of champagne.

He lays his present under the Christmas tree at 8:00pm. He gave himself a dinner jacket on Monday and a suit for Tuesday.

Park said he ignores his girlfriend, 44, and daughter, 20, when they call him a "crackpot".

Though he estimates he's spent a fortune celebrating Christmas every day, Park says he is suffering no signs of yuletide fatigue.

"I've been doing this for 12 years and I'm going to be doing it for another 12. I've never, ever got bored of it. I absolutely love Christmas," he said.

He even insists on a full Christmas dinner if he goes to a restaurant or to a friend's house for dinner.

Park reckons he has eaten one turkey a day, 20 mince pies a day, 26,280 roast potatoes (six a day), 30,660 stuffing balls (seven a day), 4,380 bottles of champagne (one daily), 4,380 bottles of sherry and 5,000 bottles of wine.

The daily Christmas feast initially made him balloon from 12.5 stone (79 kilogrammes) to 21 stone, but twice-weekly trips to the gym have brought his weight back down to 15.5 stone.

"I've also got through 36 ovens and 42 video recorders by watching the queen's speech every day as well as Christmas films," he said.

Park is hoping his love of Christmas can translate to the music charts when he releases a single on December 9.

"I want to be number one," he said.

Fittingly entitled "It's Christmas Every Day", it follows his previous unsuccessful efforts like "The Christmas Man", "Yuletide Oh Yeah", and "Alleluia It's Christmas".
