“I blame YOU for this Mom!”

Sit back, grab a drink or taco (totally your choice), and enjoy some photos of children being terrorized by Mall Santas.

(Thanks to everyone who submitted photos on Facebook! I thoroughly enjoyed this, even if the children involved most certainly did not).

Ho Ho Ho-rror Show

Santa’s eyes seem to be saying something here…

10846311_10204606832704503_2446127639045128435_n

…and here.

Even this plush toy is terrifying when paired with a mall Santa.

Please take note of this bad-ass Santa’s wrestling belt. Nice, Santa.

I like that this Santa is kind of swanky.

I bet this Santa is in an improv troupe during the off season.

Pro Santa, not missing a beat!

10857723_817213784984728_277846051723422746_n

I will not lose my grip on this child, I will not lose my grip on this child….

An oldie but goodie. Titled “Christmas torture, 1984”

10423302_10154862382260577_3834171995427582954_n

Wow! Nice moves kid!

10422308_10100896536401353_7104624672210326468_n

These kids are PISSED! But nicely coordinated.

10616228_10203181657202855_9155383110866171553_n

I’m guessing Santa loves it when not one but two children freak out on his lap!

10846036_10154906055235537_2654161462478071352_n

Good effort, Mom.

10646948_10152442234822413_2741947872258457581_n

Here’s a happy camper, for the sake of balance. (Also it’s Nolan’s cousin Kyle, so, nepotism).

10868208_10204527728887226_4634798534035365733_n

And we are going to end with this one, not only because of the cute dog, but also because Santa looks kind of like an extra from Boogie Nights.

    This is awesome! I’m also dying right now because, as I scrolled through these gems, I was taken aback upon seeing my cousins in “Christmas torture, 1984″ hahaha – love it!

        Yes! There has been a lot of back-and-forth facebook posting of hysterical old pictures from their childhood lately so it’s not too surprising but I did laugh out loud when I saw it mixed in among these pictures!

    […] That very, very special time where we make merry and (not infrequently!) terrorize children with mall Santas. […]
