Okay, he really hasn’t got the figure and his disguise was minimal but the Guardian has a nice article [here](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/20/barack-obama-plays-santa-washington-childrens-hospital) on Obama setting the right example. > [@](#): > > The former president wore a Santa hat and carried a sack of presents over his shoulder as he surprised patients and their parents at the hospital, Children’s National Health System, in the north-east part of the capital. He greeted them with a “ho, ho, ho!” and told them his reindeer were “stuck in some snow”, but he wanted to make sure he visited. Keep up the good work, sir! ---
