The Financial Times 'How to Spend it' spread is an unusually haute take on traditional Santa Claus photography. Further than you can imagine from the mall photos with rent-a-Santa from your childhood, this holiday feature will have you thinking Santa Claus is a frisky man.

Featuring the fabulous Katja Verheul, the Financial Times 'How to Spend it' spread is anything but holy. From the looks of it, Katja has been a good girl, posing happily with three elderly men dressed as jolly old saint Nick. Check this hot holiday feature out in the gallery to encourage you to be good for next year.
