“Year after year condition is worsening”: Santa Claus displeased with income (video)
This year weather and social-economic hard condition of the people hindered the work of Santa Clauses. Santa Clauses, who have gathered at Republic Square, are displeased with the number of the people, “The main reason is the weather that the people are not able to come,” one of Santa Clauses told “A1+”, who also noted that the social-economic condition of the country has also affected, “I will say that year after year the condition of the people is worsening. I have been Santa Claus for many years and I am happy that I make children happy. Money is not the matter, but the fact that we make our children and their parents happy. In any case, they give us what they can. If they don’t have, we don’t insist, it is up to them,” he said and added that sometimes they give 200 drams, sometimes 500 drams. With the initiative of the Municipality there are licensed Santa Claus and Snow Maiden in the territory of Republic Square, who don’t take money for speaking and taking photographs with children. According to the same principle, in cooperation with “10 from 10” rifle range, from 12:00 to 17:00 the Municipality gives children an opportunity to ride a pony for free and after 17:00 one ride costs 500 drams. In the interview with us the representative of the service said that they are displeased with the number of visitors, “It has been snowing and now it is raining, and parents don’t take the children out,” he said.
