Happy Boxing Day everyone! For those of you who don’t know, December 26 is Boxing Day – in all territories once under the rule of the British Empire. (Sorry America.) Traditionally, people would box up their leftovers and take them to those less fortunate than themselves. Of course now it’s just another excuse for a sale, but we won’t dwell on that. Anyway, in the spirit of the season (and here I’m referring to shameless commercialism), I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and received at least some of what you were hoping for.
No week in review this week. I’m on vacation and so is everything else. If I don’t watch the news there is no news, right. However, I did run across one Christmas-related story I found amusing. Last week a Danbury, Connecticut woman was charged with groping the mall Santa Claus. Apparently it’s not enough to simply sit on Santa’s lap anymore. After the shocked, embarrassed and un-named mall Santa complained to police about the molestation, police scoured the mall and quickly identified and apprehended the culprit - one Sandrama Lamy – due to the fact that she was on crutches. Yes, crutches. Certainly not the most efficient getaway vehicle, are they. But the absolute best part of the article is the following paragraph, which I have included below, unedited, and in its entirety.
“Santa Tim” Connaghan, president of RealSnatas.com, teaches hundreds of prospective Santas a year and said he’s never heard of a similar incident, though it’s not unusual for adult to want to pose with Santa. “I’ve had some very nice ladies sit on my lap,” Connaghan said. “Once in a while they’ll say ‘I hope Mrs. Claus isn’t going to be upset.’ You have to be discreet and kind and say ‘Oh no, she’ll be OK. You can sit here, but only for one photo.”
Hold on… can’t type… laughing too hard. Okay. I’m fine now. First, RealSantas.com? Seriously? There’s a website that “trains” people to put on a fuzzy red suit and say ho ho ho? Really? Once again, I am in the wrong line of work. And second, women really try to hit on Santa? A gray-bearded overweight dude who lives a sleigh ride from any decent shopping and plays with elves? Is it the little red hat that does it? If I had known it was that easy…

Yes, for some reason i don't think fat men are particularly hot. Maybe it's something about a man in uniform...
I don't understand how ANYBODY could look at a Santa and get all hot and bothered. EWWWWWWW. THAT means whoever is like that is not ONLY attracted to overweight men, a fuzzy red and white uniform, and to the geriatric population. .....maybe it's the black boots....foot fetish?? At any rate...one would think that if you are going to go to jail...let it be for a big crime...not something that will only add to the humiliation of the beatdowns you will receive...oh well
i think it's because he's taken, and also, it's a low commitment relationship...i mean, you only have to see him one night of the year. or maybe it's because he only works one night of the year. or maybe there are some REALLY desperate women out there. happy ho ho ho to you.
