Santa Benarty and His Elves Spread Festive Cheer

Lodged by Annabelle Ewing Standard Motion 22 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of Santa Benarty and his elves, who sought to spread festive cheer through the communities of Benarty; understands that they began their tour of Benarty on 10 December 2022 as they made their way around the area, meeting local children and putting smiles on their faces; notes that the event was sponsored by Advance Plumbing and Heating, Benarty Funeral Directors, and Benarty Community Council; understands that 2022 was the busiest year for the organisers, with the Santa tour becoming a staple event in the local calendar; recognises that Santa Benarty and his elves held off returning to the North Pole until 7 January 2023 as they were visiting a local Ukrainian Family, who had fled the war, and who were celebrating Christmas as they would have done at home; thanks all those involved with Santa Benarty, and wishes Santa and his elves a very well-deserved rest until Christmas 2023.
