Diamond cake

Diamond Cake

A diamond Christmas cake was on display in Japan. It's one of 17 diamond-related designs in an exhibit called "Diamonds: Nature's Miracle". The Tokyo pastry chef who created the work of art said it took six months to develop the design and one month to actually make the cake. The fruitcake itself is edible — apart from the 223 small diamonds on it. It goes on sale at Christmas. And it could be yours. The asking price? $1.65 million.

Special winter games

Winter games play by Santa's

Santa Clauses from all over the world were in Sweden recently for the annual Santa Winter Games. The games started in the city of Gallivare as a local Christmas event in 2003. But word quickly spread. This year's competition included Santas from seven countries.

More than 50 Santas competed in classic Santa events such as sleigh and reindeer racing, porridge eating and chimney climbing. Last year's winner, a British Santa, had to hand over the coveted title to this year's winner, a Santa from Estonia.
