Beard
lands santa in trouble
An
abseiling Father Christmas was left stranded 30ft above the ground at
a shopping centre in Texas, as his stick- on beard got caught on his
rope.
Children watched in tears and eventually the fire brigade had to be
called as his attempts to free himself failed.
He had been asked to make his descent down an 80ft advertising hoarding
as the shopping centre had no chimneys down which he could make a more
traditional entrance.
