So imagine what happens when a white bearded man drops down from your chimney (sorry no chimneys here) bringing glad tidings and meets a power outage. What will you do?!!

It is that time of year again and season to be merry globally as Christmas Day creeps in closer;3 days away as at when this article was posted. This funny take on the festive occasion has already gone viral on Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland, BBM and Whatsapp with people sharing and re-sharing because of how silly in humour it is.


The World Knows Him as Santa Claus while in Nigeria That's Another Ball Game Entirely. He is known popularly as "Father Christmas" and to Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria as "Baba Keresimesi".

It was produced at Black House studios Abuja,F.C.T. The animated video was also directed by Godwin Mosindi who had the idea last year Christmas but was too late to do anything about it and could not get it out on time. He,however knew he would give it another shot this year and started some minor pre-production around July, 2015. Even though he and his team had to manage time for other paid productions, full production started in September 2015.  The scenes were finished using Autodesk's 3dsmax by the end of November. The last scene alone took 16 days to render. The final rendering was done on about 8 systems simultaneously and there were about 4 main hands on the project.
It was created by by Mosindi "Cheche" Godwin and Gidi-Fanimokun Mayowa, Adesanya John was part of the character modeling and background development with post-production done by Sagir Carpenter. For the rest of the credits watch the animation closely at the end like i did*winks winks*
