  So, if you are a Jewish kid you never cry in photos?

  Oh, wait that means no photos with Santa! OK, no gifts for you then!

  Or is this just Santa envy?

  actually it is a secret santa move that he does to kids when he finds out they are jewish.

  The wheelchairs in the last post are a beautiful updating of the ‘ghost of christmas future’. I only wish my walgreens had such style. I did all my shopping there.Nix for everybody again this year.

  I punched Santa in the eye when I was 3. It broke his glasses. There was blood. I still got a lot of presents, though and I’m pretty sure this set the tone for the rest of my life.

  Gunner13: Santa envy? Jews everywhere have an uncle like Santa. We just wish we only saw him once a year, too.

  Primal scream, it’s the only thing left to do when one is handed to a hairy creature that looks like it might eat you!

  My grandma has a great story about the time her hubbie got into a fight with the Santa at Santa’s Village back in the ’60s. The details are pretty vague as to what words were exchanged, but we all know how it ended: with my granddad cracking St. Nick in the jaw. Bam, sent that jolly tub of shit collapsing against a clutch of giant toadstools with one punch.

  Sadly, this demigod of a man died of a heart attack before I was born. I think I would have worshiped him.

  These kids all look like they are being strapped into the electric chair.

  Yes, Virginia…there is a Santa Claus

  And he eats children.

  All of those old dudes are doing it right. No matter how much the little brats scream you just sit there smiling. Old Scotty, played the roll of Santa at many a corporate Christmas party. Watch out, though, some of those kids will pee on you!

  Okay, I’m blatenly stereotyping by name, but Ira, ever wonder that the jewish kids in these photos are paying for your assualt on santa?

  Xmas is for kids – especially the grown-up ones who just happen to own WalMart shares.

  As long as Mr. Ho-ho-ho keeps both hands where we can see them … no harm, no foul.

  True story…that’s why The Wiggles pose the way they do in photos…so you can see their hands
