A rather creative, athletic St. Nick

St. Nick is popping up all over the place here in Berlin, a slimmer, more athletic Santa than we usually see in the States and more often on his way up than on his way down. He's good at pulling himself up with a rope and climbing up ladders. Once in while you spot him drifting down with a parachute. He uses a little backpack instead of lugging around a huge sack. Works well, since then he has his hands free for all that climbing . . . .
