He needs the extra weight to hold him in place on his reindeer when he rides it.

Good one, Paul :twisted: ! Here is a good practical advice; take rubber boots, put them on the back legs of a lamb so it can`t move and then.... I think you Virginians know the rest :wink: ...

It's ok! HSE say 25 Kg is the max we are allowed to lift, so 18 is safe! :lol:
