Bad Santa 2

I was taking pictures of grafitti at Shoreditch and stumbled upon the Bad Santa Grotto outside Shoreditch Station. I was photographing it when one of the young ladies called me over from where i was in the middle of the road. The result is below. what a surprise and a bit of fun. The three young ladies were friendly and it was a pleasure to be in their company. Thank you ladies.

This is the picture I was given as a momento.

This was taken with my camera.

The young ladies playing their part admirably.
