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.Â Nope, notÂ that list. We mean his bucket [...]

We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.

This past Saturday, SantaCon took over New York City. For all of you unfamiliar with this classic American holiday, it's an entire day dedicated to dressing up like Santa Claus and getting a little crazy frolicking around with fellow Saint Nick look-a-likes. It's sort of like a massive Christmas flash mob that makes you feel like you're in a strange alternate universe, but it's actually totally awesome.

A family waited in a long line at the mall in Boise, Idaho, facing Christmastime shopping crowds, to get a picture of 8-month-old Kiptyn with the Santa there.

Is Santa Claus a Republican or a Democrat? [POLL]

Jeff Easterling — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:10:15 +0000

I thought that once the presidential elections were done, folks would stop turning everything I post on Facebook into a political statement. They didn’t, and even poor Santa is not immune. So, we wanted to take it to our listeners… Is Santa a Republican or a Democrat? (I hate to tell you this, but I [...]

With Christmas only two weeks away, Santa is a pretty busy guy these days. He has to double check all presents are made, organize final copies of the naughty and nice lists and do some last-minute reindeer grooming so they're in tip-top shape for Christmas. It's a stressful few weeks, but Santa's been doing it for like, hundreds of years, so he has the whole thing down pat.

Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online,

See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:33:34 +0000

Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!

Donald Deane — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:40:52 +0000

What's worse than a news anchor blabbing on live TV that Santa isn't real? How about a Texas kindergarten teacher revealing the terrible truth about Saint Nick to her entire class of five-year-olds? Yep, that actually happened.
