Santa Claus is getting a jump on his rounds this year, thanks to Michael Sciaraffo. Sciaraffo is a 31-year-old political consultant who has been getting dressed as jolly Saint Nick for the last few weeks in New York City to hand out presents to children whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

Santa Arrives In Lake Nebagamon By Firetruck This Sunday

Rayman — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:01:56 +0000

For a little community, we do a lot of cool things during the Holiday season. One of my favorite is when Santa arrives via firetruck on Sunday the 23rd.

Parents call the Village Hall and request Santa to stop at their home. Nobody knows when Santa will be at their house, so all evening, the children wait with great excitement for his arrival. Often times the parents are as excited as the children, continually peeking out the window to see if Santa is here.

See How Santa Is Prepping For the Apocalypse

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:37:54 +0000

Sorry kids. It appears as if your presents are on back order this year because Santa Claus isn’t coming to town in 2012. He’s too busy prepping for the upcoming (and supposed) apocalypse, according to last night’s episode of ‘Conan.’ In addition, he’s also checking his list — twice. Nope, not that list. We mean his bucket [...]

Santa Quits Smoking in New Version of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'

Donald Deane — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:25:29 +0000

As a role model for kindness and generosity, you can't do much better than Santa. But let's face it -- he's not exactly the picture of health. If the jolly old elf can't bring himself to drop a few pounds, at least he's recently given up smoking.

12 Santas Who Might Be Drunk

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:06:31 +0000

Even though Santa has an awesome job, it can be super stressful at times. Sure he's a jolly ol' guy who gives out presents for a living, but when Christmas Eve rolls around, things can get really tricky. If you think about it, the guy has to pull off delivering like, millions and millions of presents to people all around the world, so of course Santa needs to relax a bit post-Christmas. You know-- hop in the jaccuzi, get a massage or down a couple dozen chocolate chip cookies while the elves give him a manicure.

However, there are times Santa goes a little overboard with this whole "relaxing" thing, and he knocks back a few too many drinks (and we're not talking about milk). Basically, the guy gets extra, extra tipsy. He ends up passing out on sidewalks, subways and even right next to the Christmas tree. Who know Saint Nick was such a party animal?

Parents have been using the threat of Santa’s “naughty or nice” list for so long now that it may be losing its strength, so the nice folks at Google stepped in to help.
