Children Horrified by Santa (PHOTOS)
Young, old, this Christmas and Christmases of long long ago: children's reactions to Santa are the best.

Waiting in line for at least an hour. The combination of harsh fluorescent lights and overly aggressive holiday playlist leave the crowd desperate for a hipflask of the good stuff. When you finally made it to the front of the line, Santa took a bathroom break. Now the kids have been waiting for nearly two hours, the special Christmas dress from Nana is all sweaty, the reindeer tie and vest are wrinkled. It's no wonder they have nothing but horror to give when a synthetic curly beard rubs up against their faces. One, two, three, look over here! Sorry, no retakes and no snaps on your own phone. Oh, and that'll be $11.99 per wallet print.
