Christmas is the time of love, laughter and happiness shared among families, companions, friends and acquaintances all around the world.
To keep this tradition alive, every December the real Santa Claus from Finland leaves from his home in Lapland, Northern Finland and visits many countries all around the world.
This year Santa decided to visit India! With his distinct "Ho, Ho, Ho" baritone voice and the signature red bag full of goodies, Santa made his way to meet and greet the crowd in Select City Walk, New Delhi.
Santa said, "I am so excited to visit India and meet Indian people of all ages. As an ambassador of good will and peace, I wish to spread the magic of love and happiness where ever I go. I hope to meet many people during my trip and hear their stories. I am also looking forward to visiting important sights in India and, of course, tasting Indian food."
The man that we all grew up loving, who always came dressed in the reminiscing red suit, with his sparkling white beard and child-like charm, visited Select City Walk mall and enchanted the mall goers with his charisma.
It was a memorable moment for people visiting the mall after they witnessed and realised that the imaginary man who flew around the world in his reindeer sleigh, distributing gifts for children, leaving cookie bread crumbs as a sign of his visit; was right there in front of them distributing gifts to doting children.
