Exclusive: Santa vacations in Brookline

On his off months, Santa likes nothing more than stripping down to his loincloth and sandals and taking the scooter out for a spin around his favorite town:

Santy!

Ack! We saw him heading west on Comm. Ave. near Walnut St. a week or so ago. The kids haven't stopped laughing since.

Doesn't he work at Lush in the Natick Excretion?

I hope, for his sake, he never lays that bike down. The guy is an advertisement for potential road rash!

Some columnist for the Improper Bostonian mentioned that his wife ran into a Santa while walking their dog recently. (I'd link to it, but the Improper has yet to learn about the Interwebs.)

Well, I've seen it.

That photo got a legitimate LOL from me. There's a guy in Southie that I've been seeing for years that has a white fluffy beard, and he dresses like Santa in the winter and wishes people "Merry Christmas!" from outside his house (or at least I'm guessing that's where he lives.)

as my fiancee and I were approaching the Bazaar Russian Market on Beacon St (not far from Summit Ave) we saw this man just finishing up putting his scooter in "park" to walk into said Russian Market.

Those shorts leave absolutely nothing to the imagination - and I mean NOTHING. Bits and pieces flippin' and floppin' ... it was NOT a welcome sight. No sirrrrrr.
