Someone's been really good this year it seems. The President of India Pranab Mukherjee, who was on a foreign tour this past week returned home this morning, but not before meeting Santa Clause himself in the Arctic Circle.
President Pranab Mukherjee was accompanied by his daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee to Santa's workshop and followed by a lot of elf impersonators.
Christmas came early for our President, who received a small gift wrapped in white and golden paper from Father Christmas himself.
The President also became the first Indian President to visit Santa Claus's official workplace and meet him in person.
