  • Hong Kong's World Santa Champion!

    2009-12-02 03:12:41


    South China Morning Post, 1 December 2009

    Newspapers proudly announced that "Swedes crown Hong Kong man top Santa" yesterday.

    The competition involves reindeer racing, climbing chimneys and wrapping presents etc under temperatures of minus 20 degrees!  I found it both hilarious and moving......  When I looked at the title I just thought the competition silly, and that it's even more absurd that an equator born Hong Konger who lives in a concrete jungle went to join it and won!!

    This 44 year old Santa of the Year is called Jimmy Chan, and he has worked as a magician and Santa Claus for 17 years all over Hong Kong listening to children's Christmas wishes in shopping malls and hospital wards.

    Jimmy Chan is definitely one of the biggest Daydreamers I have heard of in Hong Kong; to be able to persevere and continue working on a dream that may sound silly with vigour and determination.  I wonder what he has been through and what things people must have told him throughout the years - knowing how pragmatic and realistic people and parents could be in Hong Kong......  When I think of that I get watery eyes...

    He proved that Hong Kong still has hope.

    He proved once again that if you stick with your belief and dreams firm enough, nothing is impossible.

    He proved that a seemingly silly thought like 'wanting to be Santa' could actually come true.
