Santa Claus Clones

I was just sitting on my couch watching television, and I heard some commotion coming from the street. I thought that maybe it was the culmination of a soccer game that was being watched at one of the neighborhood sports bars (which is occasionally the case). However, I walked outside to find a migrating group of Santas ho-ho-ho-ing through the neighborhood. I waved, snapped photos, was given presents, and even asked to join the journey. Unsure of where these look-alikes might take me, I politely declined the offer. How strange and fun!


Stopping to mug for the shot.


See you next year!


Gifts from the clones.

Haha, that’s awesome! We had a Santa parade thing here in NYC. I was walking to school and a few hundred Santas were fighting their way down the street.
