Visitors to an aquarium in Thailand on Thursday received a Christmas surprise when Santa Claus descended into the water, carrying a sack full of food and surrounded by shoals of fish.
In the lead up to Christmas, 23-year-old Shaimaa al-Abbasi is handing out gifts to children in Mosul, dressed as Santa Claus, to help spread joy during the holiday season. David Doyle reports.
Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus delivered some unusual holiday cheer in Rio de Janeiro by feeding the sharks and swimming with stingrays at the city's aquarium.
