More than 14,000 people dressed as Santa Clauses paraded in Portugal’s city of Porto to try to set a new world record for the largest gathering of Santas and raise money for charity.

Despite cold weather and drizzling rain, the crowd in red-and-white hats and jackets, including scores of women and children with fake white beards, strolled through the city streets singing songs and dancing in the annual parade that started in the afternoon and continued after dark.

    Every Christmas in Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal, the local motor cycle association dress up as Santa Claus and drive (approx. 300 bikes) around the town. I wonder if this is some sort of record for Santas on 2 wheels?
