Red phone box or red-nosed reindeer?
By Ben Turner via SWNS
A festive villager has hailed Rudolph the Reindeer as the 'ultimate delivery driver' after crafting a three-meter totem of him in honor of Britain's couriers.
Cary Outis, 69, said the red-nosed reindeer deserves more credit than Santa, who only has to "slide down a chimney."
The artist has made Rudolph into the spirit animal of Britain's delivery drivers, who he praised for their unfaltering work through the Covid pandemic.
"Delivery drivers got us through the last couple of years," saidCary from Prickwillow, England.
"Rudolph does most of the work on Christmas Eve - all Santa has to do is slide down a chimney."
Cary spent 25 hours constructing his 3m x 1m (9 ft x 3 ft) model of Rudolph, which adorns the local defund phone box and is made of copper pipes, faux fur and stuffed canvas.
It is the tenth consecutive year that Cary has decorated the red phone box, having created a 'masked-up' Santa Clause last year and a giant bauble before that.
"We've had plenty of neighbors saying how good it looks," said Cary, an artist.
"I like the challenge of coming up with new ideas."
Prickwillow's phone box is no longer in use and has been converted into a tiny exhibition space for local artists.
