See How Santa Is Prepping For the Apocalypse

Kyle Dowling — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:00:54 +0000

Sorry kids. It appears as if your presents are on back order this year because Santa Claus isn’t coming to town in 2012. He’s too busy prepping for the upcoming (and supposed) apocalypse, according to last night’s episode of ‘Conan.’ In addition, he’s also checking his list — twice.Â Nope, notÂ that list. We mean his bucket [...]

14 Creepy Santas Who Might Give You Nightmares

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:00:26 +0000

We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.

Weird Moments From SantaCon 2012

This past Saturday, SantaCon took over New York City. For all of you unfamiliar with this classic American holiday, it's an entire day dedicated to dressing up like Santa Claus and getting a little crazy frolicking around with fellow Saint Nick look-a-likes. It's sort of like a massive Christmas flash mob that makes you feel like you're in a strange alternate universe, but it's actually totally awesome.

Does this happen to you? Every time I try to write about Santa, it tells me I'm spelling his name wrong. What the hell? Literally.

Singing UPS Guy Is Modern Day Santa

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:25:29 +0000

Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online,

See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:33:34 +0000

Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!

When Chris Burd was 13-years-old he went to the mall in Maplewood, Minn during Christmas time. He was with his three-year-old sister, and to appease her he also sat on the lap of the mall's Santa Claus and asked for gifts.

Fast forward 13 years. Chris had recently become engaged when he got a call from his mother who tells him she had made an interesting discovery while going through a batch of old pictures.

Grinchy Kindergarten Teacher Tells Students That Santa Isn't Real

Donald Deane — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:40:52 +0000

What's worse than a news anchor blabbing on live TV that Santa isn't real? How about a Texas kindergarten teacher revealing the terrible truth about Saint Nick to her entire class of five-year-olds? Yep, that actually happened.

15 Kids Who'd Do Anything To Get Off Santa's Lap

One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we’re guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy. The whole thing is pretty impressive if you think abo

Write A Letter To Santa And Help The Make-A-Wish Foundation

Terry Morgan — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:17:50 +0000

As a kid, writing my letter to Santa Clause was a cherished event. Each year my sister and I would sit at the kitchen table with mom and dad, and using our best penmanship (this was before computers), we would write to Santa about how good we'd been, how excited we are for Christmas, and what we would like this year. It was great!

Continue that tradition, and this year help the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
