Ho, ho, oops! Santa's hilarious fail at making a grand entrance in Cape Town
Santa Claus was recently spotted in Cape Town, and his entrance was definitely one for the record books.
Most of us know that Santa usually arrives on his sleigh, climbs down the chimney, checks the naughty or nice list, and then dishes out the toys.
But it seems there are some places Santa can’t get to on his sleigh, so he chooses to arrive on a boat instead.

With the help of the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), he made a grand entrance to deliver gifts at Bakoven Beach in Cape Town for beachgoers.
Picture this - A packed beach with hugely excited parents and children, and as the NSRI boat pulls up onto the sand and Santa greets them all with his traditional “Ho, Ho, Ho,” he loses his footing and literally summersaults onto the beach. Ouch!

It’s then about saving face to loads of cheers and laughter.
If Santa’s hysterical arrival doesn’t make you smile, the laughter coming from the skipper of the boat will.
