Nothing says the Holiday Season like sea gulls, monkey salesmen and a maid on stilts.
The Gatwick Airport outside of London rang in the holiday season by confusing weary travelers. No one was quite sure what the random people in costumes were supposed to mean , but that didn't stop them from posting it all to social media.
Maybe someone out there can make sense of all this.

I'm left wondering what seagulls have to do with Christmas. https://t.co/htewAnzUWq

A traveler at the airport, Mary O'Brien documented all the strange things taking place.
Two seagulls had a standoff in @Gatwick_Airport today. That's it. That's all the information I have on the situation. #christmas pic.twitter.com/6nWKNYKd2t

Update - they were accompanied by a bear. We have not yet determined if these characters are working together or just all escaped from the same circus pic.twitter.com/6gqbDi0DE9

Finally the man in red showed up and Mary hoped he would bring answers.

Gatwick took it all in stride and reached out to Mary but didn't say much to explain the bizarre holiday trip.
Looks like it ruffled a few feathers Maria! Merry Christmas 🎄 - Em
