Santa Claus around the world: photos of Father Christmas at work

SANTA Claus is all over the world. He’s in Israel at a Palestinian protest; walking down a road in Milan, Italy; distributing gifts in Seoul, South Korea; being kidnapped by Eric Koch’s Grinch and other striking nurses in California; feeding fish at the California Academy of Sciences Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco; at a school in Jammu, India; playing with a gun in Manila, Philippines; at the National Zoo in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; stood waiting for a plane at Heathrow Airport Terminal ; surfing at Grange Chine, on the Isle of Wight; in the Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles; mingling with Everton fans outside of Goodison park, watching the shops in downtown Tehran; relaxing with Crystal Palace mascot Kayla; flogging used cars in Buffalo, N.Y.; chatting to riot police in Bucharest, Romania; at the Wolverhampton Wanderers match; and climbing down your chimney…

To all the Santa, wherever you are…
