World Santa Congress Brings Christmas Cheer to the Height of Summer
- Dozens of Santas, Mrs. Clauses, and elves gathered in Aalborg, Denmark, on Wednesday for the annual World Santa Claus Congress, a colorful midsummer tradition held for decades.
- First staged near Copenhagen in 1957, the congress moved to Aalborg on Denmark's Jutland peninsula two years ago, evolving from an amusement park attraction.
- Robert Hercz, a 64-year-old Norwegian Santa from Oslo, attended alongside participants from Australia and Tokyo, saying all Santas share a "gene for generosity and spreading joy."
- Organizer Peter Gislund noted that Santas use the four-day event to mingle and participate in gingerbread eating and parades while coping with stifling summer suits.
- The congress marks its 70th anniversary next year, helping Santas sharpen their craft for the Yuletide season despite this year's suits feeling stifling under the Danish summer sun.
