carson claus

the other night, carson really really really wanted to dress up as santa so he could give his sisters and cousins presents. unfortunately, he couldn't find anything red to wear. but, since he was blessed with infatiguable creativity and since green is also a christmas color, he was able to piece together a satisfactory santa costume. it went a little something like this (plus his pirate boots, which you can't see here):

somehow, i wonder if the whole "santa" idea really would've taken off if it were modeled after this kind of hodge-podge uniform. discuss.
