- During the early Christmas season, Santa faced some challenges with pouch accidents when children sat on his lap.
- An elf came to the rescue by getting Santa a stoma guard and a special protective belt, which helped prevent further accidents.
- To avoid any issues, Santa started seating children on the opposite side of his ostomy appliance.
