New Year 2001 in Yerevan was marked by a scrawny tree downtown and one sad and dirty Santa. Now look at that tree! Check out that square! That clean and spry Santa came out of nowhere, jumped into our picture, and demanded 1,000 dram! That's development, people.

Check out all those people! It was very festive. And it also answered the eternal question of how Santa fits all those gifts into his sleigh. Duh--he has a shuka bag.
