In January, the most elegant Father Christmas decides to explore the world, in search of an outfit for the next holiday season. On board of his sleigh, he flies to Scotland, Japan, Côte d’Ivoire, and many more countries. During this round-the-world-trip, he tries on clothes, from the plainest to the most dazzling ones.
What will he decide to wear this year? A Scottish kilt or an African boubou?
