    Synopsis

    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.

    February 09, 2009: Traumatizing your toddler during the holidays seems to be a tradition for many families. It's amazing how many good parents (myself included) will insist that their terrified child sit on a stranger's lap. It's also amazing how funny those pictures can be! It brought back memories of every Santa our family has ever encountered. Loved it! Need pictures for the next edition?
