Around Christmas time, there are always amusing Santa related stories. For those of you heading back to work after the long weekend, I hope this helps brighten your Wednesday.
First, news from a movie theater in New Zealand…
Kate Gorman, 35, was waiting to see “Enchanted” with her two young children.
“At least 50 drunk idiots dressed up like Santa came in through the main door,” she said. “They were kicking things over, ripping down posters and smashing everything in sight.”
“They were all dressed as Santa and shouting ‘ho f*****g ho’,” she told the paper.
Her children, Gabriella, 6, and Jackson, 7, had been confused by the incident, she said.
“They asked me, ‘are they Santa’s helpers gone crazy?’ and I said `no, they are just idiots’. [source]
Secret Santa Lives On
In Kansas City, a friend of “Secret Santa” carries on the good work started by the late Larry Stewart.
This Christmas, a friend who told Stewart in the hospital that he would carry on for him is out on the streets, handing out $100 bills, each one stamped with “Larry Stewart, Secret Santa.”
Between Kansas City and several other cities this Christmas, the new Secret Santa will give away $75,000 of his own money, mostly in $100 bills.
“I didn’t want to be a Secret Santa,” said the man, a business consultant who lives in the Kansas City area. “I wanted to give Larry money. But last year, he said I had to hand it out myself. So I did, and I got hooked.”
This new Secret Santa talks about Larry Stewart to just about everyone he encounters. “Have you ever heard of a man named Larry Stewart?” he asks before handing out $100 or more. [full story]
Good Lovin’ Gone Bad?
Here’s one from Danbury Connecticut. This lady wanted her Christmas package a little early, but ended up in the clink instead.
Santa Claus says that a woman who sat on his lap was naughty, not nice. A Santa at the Danbury Fair mall said the woman groped him. “The security officer at the mall said Santa Claus has been sexually assaulted,” police Detective Lt. Thomas Michael said of the weekend complaint. [source]
Santa Visits Soldiers In Iraq
Santa strapped on his body armor and sidearm Monday and got an early start on his rounds, taking candy canes and holiday wishes to U.S. troops in Iraq.
Santa is Army Maj. Harold Riggins of the 101st Airborne Division and his sleigh on Monday was an Army Black Hawk helicopter. He spent about five hours hopscotching around various U.S. bases.
“Just wanna see the troops, hand out some candy canes and make ‘em smile,” Riggins said as he headed out on his holiday patrol. [source]
Top that Osama, you nasty old grinch!
Santa Gets A Mountain
The former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan has mountains honoring Communist and Russian leaders. Just in time for Christmas, authorities say they plan to name a snowy peak “Mount Santa Claus.”
Three climbers set off Wednesday to scale the designated peak and bury a capsule containing the flag of Kyrgyzstan at the summit on Christmas Eve. [source]
And that’s your Santa news for 2007. Hope you had a great Christmas.
