SINGAPORE: It’s the most wonderful time of the year again - for residents and Christmas-lovers in Marsiling.
Those who live around Woodlands Street 13 are no stranger to the elaborate displays that resident Tan Koon Tat has constructed every festive season for more than ten years, but this year the 58-year-old carpenter has surpassed himself, with a Christmas display spanning not one but two locations.
A life-size Santa Claus and reindeer occupy Mr Tan’s usual display area at the entrance of the car park, but his crowning glory is around the corner, where a huge, snow-covered log cabin sits with Santa’s sleigh parked beside it, the whole thing fenced off by candy canes and tinsel.
This year, Santa also gets a friend, with the addition of a “Santarina” female mannequin dressed up in a Santa costume, standing on the cabin’s porch. She’s not Santa’s wife, says Mr Tan, but rather Santa’s grandchild, as she looks “too young” to be his wife.
A snow machine will also be added over the weekend.
