This Santa, snapped by Leader photographer Geoff O’Neill, was driving his “reindeer” through a paddock on the Manilla Rd in all his homemade glory.

An upturned rubbish bin, bucket, plant pots, stick antlers and tubing combine to give the big man in red a real country flavour.

The Leader is keen to see any interesting interpretations of Christmas favourites, so if you see something eye-catching in your travels, either give us a ring and let us know where, or take a photo and send it to us at hsheridan@fairfaxmedia.com.au
