Santa has found a new way to get around the world fast, he has given up his reindeer and sleigh for a quad bike – or at least when it comes to a businessman from South Wales who transformed himself into Santa to help bring Christmas cheer to families.
Paul Gwilym, wedding shop owner in South Wales will drive his motorised sleigh around Splott in Cardiff to hand out presents to children on Christmas morning. The businessman has added 15 metres of tinsel along with more than 100 LED lights and plywood and paint to transform his quad into a motorised sleigh. Parents hand over Christmas presents for their children to the entrepreneur and for a fee he plans on delivering then on Christmas morning. He plans on being able to reach 40 homes in the area to deliver gifts between 7 in the morning and up to 5pm on Christmas day.
Of course Santa always needs a helping hand and he will have two elves who will work with him in a van, to carry the presents and quad bike in-between deliveries. The trio plans on driving throughout the neighbourhood delivering gifts while playing Christmas tunes through speakers. On the run up to the big day Mr Gwilym is using his converted quad bike to help spread Christmas cheer to local children in the hope of bringing back the spirit of Christmas. One has to wonder though how mum and dad are going to explain the lack of reindeer pulling the sleigh, and why instead it has a motor.
