Mr and Ms White in pictures – ´Santa Sawo Mata´

There´s a true story about a supermarket Santa Claus in Jakarta, who suddenly disappeared. And when a little girl asked her mom, where is Santa?, her mother told her it is time to pray Ashar for Santa… This time the Santa was a muslim and it was his daily routine to pray at this time. That Santa had probably also a brownish, sawo mata skin. Santa is really everywhere and everything…
