Pictures of Children Frightened By Santa Claus

Jan 1, 2011 2 comments

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?!?

In 2003 and 2006 edition of the Chicago Tribune, readers were asked to send them their favorite photos of children, frightened by Santa Claus. The result: hundreds of photos of children with tearful eyes and a gaily smiling Santa Claus. The best pictures from the collection - more than two hundred and fifty - were rounded up to make the book - Scared of Santa: Scenes of Terror in Toyland

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.

Here is a small of the hilarious pictures from the book.

  1. I'm still afraid of Santa Claus. Some big fat dude in a red velvet suit with sparkles? and fringes? And then on top of that this guy has on some black boots with a pirates buckle on them?

    Either he's a pedophile,a psycho, or just a plain nut. Yeah i don't mess with Santa.
