In Mexico, yesterday approximately 300 Santa Clauses held a parade through the streets.

With only two days left until Christmas, celebrations are already in full swing in many countries around the world, with each place striving to create unique ways to make this year's Christmas meaningful and memorable for both locals and tourists.

In Mexico, yesterday, about 300 Santa Clauses paraded through the streets, but not on reindeer-drawn sleighs like in the legend, but on high-powered motorcycles. The purpose of these "Santa Clauses" was simple: to bring joy to the people of Mexico City, a city they see as still burdened with anxiety, anger, and stress in their daily lives.

A Santa Claus on a motorcycle shared: “We wanted to give something back. We bought candy and toys and gave them to the children. As big-bike riders, we wanted to be role models for the kids.”

Meanwhile, in Kansas, USA, over 3,000 people gathered to set a rather interesting Guinness World Record: the world record for the largest number of people wearing Christmas-themed sweaters. Specifically, 3,473 people wearing long-sleeved sweaters featuring snowmen, Christmas trees, reindeer, etc., gathered at a basketball game between the University of Kansas and the University of Montana. This record is three times larger than the previous record of 1,175 people wearing Christmas-themed sweaters. Their festive sweaters illuminated the arena with warm, festive colors. Philip Robertson, a representative confirming the Guinness World Record, stated:

“I can honestly say that the atmosphere in this arena was not just like a festival, but like something out of a fantasy. Everyone looked so happy and excited. I believe the whole town ran out of sweaters to sell because everyone was so caught up in the holiday spirit.”

Meanwhile in Russia, over a thousand Santa Clauses participated in a race in Moscow to raise money for children with serious illnesses. Each Santa Claus who registered for the race contributed $11 to the charity fund. The red color of their Santa costumes not only dispelled the chill of Moscow but also brought hope to many children.

One Santa running in the race said, “We are here to enjoy the festive atmosphere and also to help children with serious illnesses. When people come together, and each person contributes just a little, we can create something much better and bigger this New Year.”

Interestingly, even though many people are not healthy enough to participate in the 5km or 10km runs, they are still "awarded" the humorous title of "Lazy Father Frost" if they contribute to the charity fund. The money raised will be used to buy New Year's gifts, which will be personally delivered by these Santa Clauses to sick children in Moscow on December 25th.
