Any parent who has, with the best of intentions, taken their child to see Santa only for the plan to backfire into a fit of tears and terror can relate to the Scared of Santa Photo Gallery.

Robert of Mahar Dry Goods has written about the gallery (in a post aptly title Ho Ho Horrors) and provided links on his blog and we recommend a visit if only to sympathize with other parents whose children have had a similar reaction to Jolly Old St. Nick.
