Have I missed something here? Blink

Can't say I came across many trouser-less father Christmasses (pl?) when I lived in Copenhagen. Is this some international joke that has passed me by? BigGrin

Henrik,

It might be some vague reference to "Polar Plunge" where one swims in winter waters, and he is ready take the plunge? Confused

Down here in sunny Florida there are often Santas in swim trunks, still wearing their red jackets, sipping margaritas on the beach, after the hectic "World Tour", LOL but that belies the "Copenhagen" reference - although it does appear that he has a "refreshment" in his hand...so maybe someone else has ideas?

There usually is a Santa Claus World Congress each July in Copenhagen but I don't think the figure has anything to do with that. Maybe there are some erotic undertones to the figure and Copenhagen is used because of Denmark being the first country to legalize porn..? Maybe Father Christmas "Hamburg" would be more fitting?

Seems like Santa is drinking something. Maybe he had a bit too much "Gammel Dansk"
