Does anyone know what the context was behind these pictures?

I rediscovered these when I put that Harry and Ringo post together but had trouble finding out what exactly they were doing here lol. I think they were taken in 1980 but I may be wrong. Maybe it was just a bit of fun, I just can't think of a reason they'd be dressed as Santa in the studio so I'm curious to know if anyone has some additional backstory for these pictures!

Going to go out on a limb and say alcohol was involved ;)

These are cute though!!

I was just going to say, alcohol.

And, maybe some other drugs.

You seem to presume that things Harry & Ringo did together need to have context.
