Auckland's iconic Santa on Queen Street is bandaged up this week as we await the unveiling of a new - hopefully less creepy - St. Nicholas on Sunday. So what happened to him? GayNZ.com has learned that the generous old geezer was attacked by a pair of violent drag queens - thought to be ho-ho-ho's - on a wild night out. Watch the official story below, and remember where you heard this breaking news first! Santa's makeover will be revealed when the bandages come off this Sunday 22 November. UPDATE: Drag duo Buffy and Bimbo now claim Santa ran into a lamp post while they were chasing him... watch the video below and make up your own mind! Matt Akersten - 18th November 2009
