Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

Not happy with what Santa brought you this year?  Maybe it’s because he was unimpressed with your pathetically traditional tree (Balsam? Lame.  Douglas? Boring.  Fraser? Puh-leeze!).

Next year, grab his attention and get special treatment by upgrading to one of these unforgettable trees from around the world.

Not all Santas are created equal.  Sure, some years your mall Santa looked like an authentic looking jolly ol’ St. Nick…but other years (whether you remember it or not), you were most likely forced to sit on the lap of a scary (and probably drunk) dude.  Sketchy Santas is a hilarious site which features photos of some of the creepiest Santas on the planet.  These are some of my favorites:

It’s always 4:20 in this Santa’s workshop

This scary Santa skips the lap and goes straight for the crotch.

When will Santas finally listen to Tyra and “smile with their eyes”?

Sure, Santa’s creepy, but look at that horrifying Elf!  Aaagghhh!!!

“Um…Santa…is that a toy train in your pocket?”

That baby is handling herself MUCH better than I would have.

***So…I looked back at MY own Santa photos hoping I might find a Sketchy Santa…I actually found THREE of them!

Santa thought extra rouge would hide his sketchiness.  (Check out my cool shoes!)

I think even then I knew something was wrong with this guy.

I think he’s plotting my death.  (No comment on my turtleneck or haircut.)

And finally, no Creepy Santa post would be complete without this photo.  (Thanks Lauren!)
