Tales from the Throne of Lies

BWAHAHA! Maybe this clip will shed a little light on why kids have a tendency to freak out up on Santa’s lap … He’s supposed to smell like gingerbread and peppermint (and maybe the occasional rum ball) … NOT like beef and cheese.

In the spirit of “the holidays bring out the worst in all of us,” I want to see your “Santa is a Very Bad Man” photos. It could be a treasured family photo of you, perhaps from the butterfly collar era. Or maybe it’s a picture of your adorable little one having a meltdown on Santa’s knee last week (although, for their emotional well-being, you might consider waiting a year or two before sharing, just to be sure they fully recover.) All I ask is that the photo showcases a Jolly Old Elf and a petrified kid. This link will take you directly to the photo submission page (don’t say I never gave you anything).

If your photo is the one to make our esteemed panel of judges laugh so hard that egg nog shoots out their noses, you’ll win a limited-edition 7 T-shirt. Totally worth the psychological scarring, wouldn’t you say?
