Weird Santa's 1998!!

GREAT BRITAIN - Xmas underwear:
In London, female Santa's have been reported flashing their underwear in public places all over town. Rumors have it they are fashion models promoting a collection of undies to be released for Xmas

HUNGARY - No chimney?
The lack of traditional chimneys in many big cities is a problem for Santa. How is he going to get in to deliver the Xmas presents? Well, in Budapest he has solved the problem by hiring a local group of alpinist, and have them climb up the walls of the buildings instead.

GERMANY - Santa on a tight rope!
In the town of Freiburg in the south of Germany, Santa Claus has been seen walking a tight rope high over the town square. Why? - I haven't got a clue.

FRANCE - Clothes on for Xmas!
The usually rather nude girls of the famous Parisian cabaret Lido are dressing up for Xmas. Lido is putting on a special Xmas show for families. Well known fairy tale characters like Snow-white, Cinderella and Alice in wonderland will be participating as well as Santa himself and the newly dressed dancers.

USA - Santa on drugs
Mark Calvert was working daytime as Santa Claus at a super market in Seattle. At night he had a second job as a host for a pro drugs TV show on a cable net. When Calvert was seen on TV cheering a 14 year old smoking pot, in a competition to see who could take the biggest zip, lots of viewers got upset. Later on in the show Calvin talked about his job as a Santa. Apparently his boss (at the super market) heard of the TV show so his Xmas present to Calvin was the sack!
