Santa on Queen Street

Posted on 11 December 2009

The Whitcoulls Santa on Queen Street after undergoing a 100000 Dollars face lift.
It definitely looks better without the winking eye and the “come in” moving finger which used to draw unsavory comments from passers by.
It is 20m tall. The two flanking reindeer are a new addition too at 14.5 m height each!

The “old” Santa of years past at left.

Santa looked taller when he was at Farmer’s building.
