Sharjah24 – Reuters: A giant Santa made of sand and red roses has been chilling on the beach in Odisha in India. The footage filmed on December 25 shows a huge reclining Santa with a proper red and white robe, on a long beautiful stretch of beach.
Right next to him is a little message he's pointing to: "Enjoy your Christmas - with COVID guidelines."The sand statue was made by Padmashree Sudarshan Pattnayak and is about 50 feet long (50 metres) and 28 feet wide.
The red Santa suit took about 5400 red roses and some white flowers and the whole project took several days of preparation and a full eight hours of sand carving.
