Santa walks alone in Raleigh, North Carolina. The head of the merchants’ association that coordinates the local holiday parade says, “[I]t’s confusing for children to see two people in Santa suits.” Story here.
Ummm…from the photo of a previous year’s parade, it doesn’t look like Mrs. Claus was wearing a Santa suit. She wore a gender-differentiated Snuggie-Meets-North-Pole dress.
I wonder whether parade organizers would have been more inclined to admit Mrs. Claus had she been wearing garters and stockings instead?
