BeachNicks

Did you ever wonder what happens to all those guys in red suits with white trim you see in department stores, malls and other public spaces come December 26th? Few people know that these guys are unionized. That’s right, they all belong to Santa Claus Reenactors of the World or SCREW. Further, Clause 17 of their contracts [no pun intended] requires that they be given a week off every year at a very warm beach of their choice.
This year their unanimous vote for a vacation destination was Juhu Beach in Mumbai. No foolin’! The above picture proves it. Here we see Stan and Oliver of England coming out of the Arabian Sea waters and heading for the wet Santa suit contest won last year by Soh Hung, from Mainland China.
Other diversions for these guys include the reindeer pie toss, milk and cookie gorging and the ever popular stuff an elf into a small box contest. The favorite of all is, however, the kissing yo momma under the mistletoe game. This event is the one that got a little ugly last year when Aditi, [you've read of her before] being paid to play the role of “yo momma”, violently objected to a “french” kiss by a Santa named Sarkosy and set his beard on fire.
Oh well, it’s mostly good clean fun for all. Participants are already making plans for Dubai, December 26th, 2012. See you there or be square!
