This has been floating around for a while, but in case you haven’t had the pleasure, it’s a photo gallery of kids, some in various stages of freak-out, with Santa. [http://www.southflorida.com/events/sfl-scaredsanta,0,2245506.photogallery?coll=sfe-events-headlines&index=1](http://www.southflorida.com/events/sfl-scaredsanta,0,2245506.photogallery?coll=sfe-events-headlines&index=1) The Santas in #7 and 9 look like they are completely sloshed. #11 is one I used as my desktop background last year, when half the family was sick and we were all miserable; it just seemed to mirror our feelings at the time. Have fun… ---

Of course, I read the thread title as “sacred Santa.” :smack: Thanks for sharing that! Reminds me of many of the lavish Christmas parties put on by my dad’s employer in the early '60s. Booze flowed freely, to the Santa as well as the moms and dads. I’m sending this link to my brother, who does a gig every year as Santa. ---

Jesus! #5 on the first link…I’d have dropped dead on his lap. Who the fuck thought that would make a warm, fuzzy holiday moment? ---

Ha! I just saw the cover picture from the **Sidekick** section of today’s Boston Globe, and there’s a picture of one EEEvil Santa. Unfortuunately, I can’t find the picture on their online edition. It’s from a new place, **Silentt Night of the Lambs** , which features Santa Claus as Hannibal Lecter. Here’s the play’s site: [http://www.golddustorphans.com/press.html](http://www.golddustorphans.com/press.html) ---

My sidekick took his two-year-old daughter for her first Santa encounter last night. I sent him the link this morning.
