This collection of teary-eyed, terrified, and totally bored children with resolutely cheerful Santas will make your belly shake like a bowl full of jelly.

He’s huge and hairy and hulking.  He dresses in strange furry clothing.  He sneaks into people’s homes at night. Who wouldn’t be afraid of . . . Santa Claus?!?

Nothing says Christmas quite like innocent children shrieking with terror as a stranger dressed in red drags them kicking and screaming onto his lap. Now this time-honored rite of passage is celebrated with a hilarious collection of more than two hundred and fifty priceless photos of kids’ traumatic trips to Santa’s workshop. Scared of Santa offers a cornucopia of photographic funnies—from sixty-year-old family heirlooms to last year’s howlers—along with delightful commentary on those unforgettable childhood visits to scary ol’ Saint Nick.
