Santa Claus is a Tokyo Hobo

Santa Claus seems to have fallen on hard times in the dry season after Christmas. I spotted Old Saint Nick, covered in filth, rummaging through dustbins in Maedai-Mae in Tokyo. Clearly desperate for cash, Santa has taken to busking with a saxophone.

    I saw a drunk salaryman pay him for a BJ in Ueno a couple of months back. I chased the guy off and gave Santa a 1000 yen.

    Not for a BJ, mind you. Kind of like a tip for all the cool crap he got me when I was a kid.
