This picture first ran at Wizbang in December 2003 in a post called, Another Year, Another Crappy Santa Picture.
Our days of Santa photo ops ended once I found out that the lack of lines for the mall Santa was due to the fact that they were handing out pagers with a 1+ hour wait. Still, it’s become something of a tradition to re-run this picture as a monument to the futility of the Santa photo op, and as an introduction to the Scared Of Santa Photo Gallery.
Enjoy!
