Christmas obsessed Andy Park has ­celebrated Christmas EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 22 years and it’s finally driven him crackers.

He eats 25 mince pies and a full turkey every day, watches the Queen’s Speech religiously at 3pm every afternoon, then opens prezzies he has brought for himself after pulling crackers. Forty of them.

You will never believe how much he has spent since his obsession began in 1993. Brace yourself, its a craaaaazy $4.4MILLION.

Park is single because women run a mile when they see his house all done up with a tree, fairy lights and cards, even when its May. 

Finally after years of nagging from his daughter, the 52-year-old is cutting his addiction.

 

His festive obsession has drained all his savings, has left him at risk of losing his house and is taking its toll on his health after piling on almost 60kgs.

He’s shed half of it now but doctors warn he is still at risk of heart disease .

Andy, an electrician and musician, said: “It’s going to be tough but I have to stop.

"My daughter says it’s ruining my life and I’ll end up penniless, obese and alone.”

 

He will be giving up his lifestyle on Boxing Day and hopes to find love.

Andy said: “I haven’t had a girlfriend since this all started. I did go on a date a few years ago.

“It was all going well until I invited her back to my house. It was August and I had my decorations up.

“She made her excuses and left and I never heard from her again.

 

“It’s also had an effect on my work.

"I’m self-employed, but I’ll admit I’ve turned down jobs because I have to watch the Queen’s speech the same time every day.

“I have them from the last 20 years, but 1997 is my favourite. It brings a tear to my eye – so poignant as we’d just lost Diana.”

 

Andy began ­his daily Christmases on July 14, 1993, after telling a customer how much he loved Christmas.

The daily festives was financed by profits from his business, a house sale and royalties from songs released online.

Andy finally came to his senses after being moved on five times by police while busking in Bath to finance his Christmas treats.

 

Will Andy suffer withdrawal symptoms? He’ll find out soon . . . when he goes cold turkey.
