Identity Crisis - Christmas Special

Tensions are at boiling point during Christmas shopping and a Santa Claus, dressed up as Father Christmas pulled out a gun and frightened a Christmas tree seller in Bordeaux. The gun was not a loaded one but it was a gun all the same and police do not take kindly to anyone waving a gun. They took him into custody and held him for a couple of hours before letting him go.

It seems the 53-year old Father Christmas was employed by his nephew, the tree seller, and was not getting proper remuneration for playing the role of Father Christmas.
