RUBY Wax provided some festive cheer by responding to Christmas loathers on The Oracle's Twitter page.
The actress and comedian adopted her alter ego - Banta Claus - and gave residents the chance to vent their frustration.
As well as helping shoppers with their pressing questions about the festive season, she provided witty responses to those who were not looking forward to Christmas.
She said: "Speaking from experience, the festivities can often bring many moans, groans and frustrations for people across the country.
"Being the resident Banta Claus for The Oracle was a brilliant opportunity to respond to the haters with some tongue-in-cheek festive cheer.
"I loved every minute of it. I hope my alter-ego turned some frowns upside down and made people love and laugh at the season rather than loathe it."
