These brothers are our Christmas heroes. For the past 34 years they’ve had their photo taken with Santa.
“We’re stuck,” Martin Gray, now 30, told Good Morning America. “We don’t really have a choice at this point. My mum always did it and we never gave it much thought. [But] it came to the point where we can’t really stop this since we’ve done it for 12 years.”
Every year, no matter where they were living, the brothers made a point of getting together for a festive snap.
“Sometimes my brother had to scramble to come home from college and I’d just have to meet him at some random mall,” said Gray.
Besides, their mother loves getting her yearly photo: “Our mum thinks it’s hysterical, and it’s all about making mum happy.”
She kicked off the tradition back in 1980, when Gary’s older brother was an only child …
