This guy went all out trying to recreate a picture of his Christmas spirit as a child at a public tree. He said the hardest part was finding red pants, so he settled for maroon. I'd say this was a success.

Everything was perfectly recreated from smiles to positioning. The only thing they couldn't recreate was the '90s fashion, so they just used regular clothes. Some things should be left in the past, anyway.

Even a couple of feet taller, covered in tattoos, with gray hair and a beard, you can still see the same spirit within him. The sailor costume and mimicked gesture definitely help, but it's the smile that gives away the fact that it's the same person.

He was just as much of a big fan of Sonic at 6 years old as he is as a full-grown adult. You can bet he was first in line, in the exact set of suspenders and plaid shirt, when the new Sonic movie came out.
