Zodys Santa sits on the rooftops of the Zodys buildings waving to all his friends to let them know that he is here for the 1963 Christmas Season - and will soon be visiting with the smallfry indoors, as well as out. Zodys Santas, made of steel and celastic, are 19 feet tall, 11 feet wide, and weigh 1100 pounds each. The presence of these giant Santas on Zodys buildings officially marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season."
