A Gaggle of Santas in Saint Pete
Where: St. Petersburg, Russian Federation
If the sight of some 5000 Santas running a marathon together hasn't confused the children of the world enough, St. Petersburg, Russia, has something in store. Hot on the heels of the official G8 forum, attended by Bush, Blair et al in July this year, St. Petersburg will soon host the Santa G8.
Nope, we're not kidding. Santas from eight different nations (all slightly different versions of Santa, mind you) will meet in the city on New Year's Eve. Not until then, of course, because "they are too busy in their respective countries to come on Christmas Day." Russia's Father Frost will come face-to-face with the German Weihnachtsmann and Britain's Santa Claus, with Finnish Yelloupokki probably reluctantly stepping up since he already is sure he's the real thing.
