Source: Associated Press
Dec 25, 12:18 PM EST Swedish police alerted after Santa's gray outfit angers foreign guest STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Police in Sweden had to intervene after a foreign visitor to a spa and conference center grew angry because a visiting Santa Claus was wearing a gray instead of red costume. No one was arrested during the incident in Vallsta, some 300 kilometers (180 miles) north of Stockholm, early Tuesday. But police said in a brief statement that the foreign guest grew agitated over the Santa outfit and argued with the center's staff. They did not say where the foreigner was from.
