Remember [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294098), about my mother-in-law and her pedophile Santa shower curtain? Well, I’m happy to report that the Doper community at large convinced her to ditch that monstrosity. Trouble is, her bathroom still isn’t free from creepy holiday decorations. This time, [it’s not so much the item, as the positioning](http://www.sirblah.com/misc/sicksanta2.htm). ---

If you wet the seat, you get coal for Christmas. ---

What about the toilet seat that has Santa’s face printed on both sides? The top of the lid has “Ho Ho Ho” printed next to Santa; the underside of the lid has “Oh Oh Oh” printed next the Santa’s grimacing face. I’ve never actually seen one in person though. ---

**Hal** , I’m assuming that Santa’s head is a tissue dispenser? You have to reach inside Santa’s head to pull out whatever lies therein to blow your nose with? Cool. Now every time you use it, utter a zombiefied “Braaaaaains!” ---

If you keep your MIL busy enough with her new granddaughter, maybe you can abscond with Santa’s head and sell it on E-Bay. ---

I have seen a Santa on a cross, apparently manufactured by someone in Japan who was unclear on the subject. That would go well with the toilet seat mentioned, I think. ---

Is that the from the “Santa the Baptist” playset? Does it come with a silver platter? ---

I think the idea is to aim directly into his mouth, and if you inflate the balloon you win a prize. ---

Your mother-in-law has the kind of bad taste that most of us can only aspire to. And is it just me, or does Santa look awfully smug? And what does that mean? ---
