10 Cringe-Worthy Santa Fails to Sleigh You
Santa Claus has quite the reputation. Known to most as the bearer of long-wished-for gifts like Nintendo 64s and Red Ryder BB Guns, he can be the source of supreme childhood happiness when those long shots (pun intended) show up under the tree Christmas morning. When a surrogate St. Nick shows up at the local mall to capture kids’ wish lists and provide parents a picturesque moment for holiday cards, we’re all left to wrestle with the disparity between the perfectly jolly old man of our favorite songs, books and movies and the somewhat less perfect version in front of us. But hey! Cut a guy a break– with so much expectation, there’s bound to be a disappointing showing here and there. Here are 10 Santa fails that will make you happy to stick to visions of dancing sugarplums.
