Yesterday L Dawg and I took part in the Santa Stroll around the city to raise funds for local childrens charities. I have to say we were totally unprepared, our training involved getting to bed at 4am the night before and then spending the morning working out which low cut top would look best under the santa suit. Standard behaviour for LDawg and Hboss. We blagged some sponsership from friends, all of whom asked how far we'd be walking? The response-no idea but we get to wear santa suits and get pissed at the end!
So we arrived, paid our registration fee, donned our santa suits and joined the hundreds of other santas. I have to say it has to be one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Looking around and seeing so many other santas in different shapes and forms-fat santa, thin santa, wheelchair santa, snogging santas, dog santa, toddler santa and really annoying aerobic instructor santa! Amazing!
Still with no idea how far we were meant to be walking L Dawg and I set off, determined to keep up a brisk pace while constantly pulling up our one size fits all santa trousers. LDawg ripped her trousers at the crotch. I contemplated flashing for the paparazzi. We waved at the trains that went past. Joined in the mexican wave. Sang jingle bells. Laughed at the girl who was spewing and couldn't hack it. And suddenly it was over. LDawg and I completed the santa stroll in 30 mins and congratulating ourselves on how superfit we were we headed straight to the pub.
On contemplation it was a walk for kids. But shhhh we loved it!
