My colleagues and I stood at the reception desk of Hair Design earlier this week, chatting during an unusual lull and what should walk in but a man carrying a monkey dressed in a Santa suit? Yes, this really happened. Yes, a live monkey. Yes, a Santa suit on the monkey.

They came from the circus, looking for donations and we’ve already had a clown visit us with the same purpose in mind, but I really, I didn’t expect to see a live monkey in a Santa suit in my place of work. Would you?
