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.

Uh-Oh! http://thingsithinkarekindacool.com/2009/12/12/sketchy-santas-ho-ho-uh-oh/ http://thingsithinkarekindacool.com/2009/12/12/sketchy-santas-ho-ho-uh-oh/#comments Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:35:56 +0000 John Jude http://thingsithinkarekindacool.com/?p=1519 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:

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

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

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

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

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

Scariest Santa Ever
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!
My Sketchy Santa 1
Santa thought extra rouge would hide his sketchiness.  (Check out my cool shoes!)

My Sketchy Santa 2
I think even then I knew something was wrong with this guy.

My Sketchy Santa 3
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!)
