New Haven Santa Update

Santa made a surprise move today. The red-suited maverick took time to leave his sweat shops in China, and to go to a mall in New Haven, CT, according to Absurd Christmas freelance reporter, Douglas the architecture grad student.

According to a text message from the field from Douglas,

"Santa is at the mall no joke. All alone."

We look forward to additional updates on this breaking news story.

THIS JUST IN:

Douglas provided a photo of Santa...perhaps the first time he has been seen outside of his compound in China since he appeared at a "Christmas in July" used car extravaganza in Indianapolis.

Apparently, moving the North Pole to China has decreased mid-November interest in Santa...at the New Haven mall "not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse."
**as douglas suggested, please note rotisserie chicken in foreground of photo.
