Santa Was Never Like This - Until He Started Drinking Floor Polish

Every now and then you get out past where the buses run, as Kinky Friedman says...and Camera Electronic is no excepton. We hire a lot of people and occasionally we get more than we bargain for. We hired a sales floor manager thinking that all we would get was a guy who could talk cameras...and ended up getting a world champion.

And not just any old world champion. Never mind your bicycle racers or boxers or cricket teams. We got the World Champion Santa. We really did.

David Downey is his name and it apparently took him three years to work his way up to the Arctic circle and put on the red coat and the hat with the bobble for Australia. But he blasted all the other Santas off the ice and took the championship.

You can see him in action on the ABC television station on Monday the 23rd at 10:30 AM in a program called " World Champion Santa". It is kid-safe to watch...as opposed to " Bad Santa" with Billy Bob Thornton, which is not.

Remember that you must all behave yourselves when you come into the shop - Santa knows when you have been naughty and when you have been nice and these days he works in close collaboration with the USAF out of Omaha. There is a vast difference between a reindeer and an armed drone.
