Each year, dozens of Santas from around the globe gather on this piano to signal the start of another Christmas season. No one remembers exactly when this phenomenon began or why the sentimental Santas choose to gather on this particular piano, although some suggest that it is has something to do with the fact that this piano is rarely played.
As the Santas line up for their annual group photo, this year's line up features USA Santa, representing the host country for the annual event. Also featured this year are Italian Santa (because the piano owner is Italian), Irish Santa (because the lady of the house claims to be Irish), French Santa (because we once visited Paris), Greek Santa (because I'm worried the Greeks aren't having a very good Christmas), and Spain Santa (which is actually the three wise men - how cool is that!)
In addition to the featured Santas, there are several very interesting Santa interpretations. Several different means of transportation are used from boats to donkeys. Some are even women.
The global Santas wish everyone a Merry Christmas and peace and prosperity in the new year.
