10 SICK SIGNS TO WATCH FOR BEFORE YOUR KID SITS ON SANTA’S LAP


‘Tis the season for kids to get all pumped up to sit on some creepy old guy’s lap and tell him what they desire most. On the plus side, malls do provide a freshly laundered costume. On the negative side, they usually don’t screen or test perspective Santas for highly contagious diseases. But have no fear, one New York Jew is going to save Christmas by providing you with life-saving, sick Santa signs you should be on the look out for. 


Check for …
- Red bumps on Santa’s exposed skin.
- Santa intensely itching his waist or groin area.
- Sesame seed size brownish grey lice bugs crawling all over Santa.



Make sure Santa does NOT have…
- A dry cough.
- The chills (in a well heated area).
- Breathing difficulties.
- Muscle aches.



Look for…
- Round red irritated patches on Santa’s skin.
- A rash on Santa’s scalp, legs, or elbows.
- An abundance of dandruff on Santa’s real hair.

  2. These are all very helpful, but is there any way to assure he's not a Catholic priest or TSA employee? xo

  3. Haha. I don't have kids and when I do, they won't believe in Santa as being real, but more of a tradition.

  8. Last year I had a Mall Santa who, while waiting in line and watching my daughter sit on his lap and get a picture......He never sed HO,HO,HO even once or Merry Christmas. But you know what he did say when the picture was being taken and they were asked to 'smile!'. Buddy looked at the camera and sed "Whos your daddy!". This is no joke.

  11. So the difference between a Santa and a homeless bum riddled with disease is a red suit, it seems?

  12. Think I'll skip Santa and go straight to Mrs. Clause's lap. Unless of course she exhibits similar symptoms.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I can't believe people actually take the gig of Santa while they are sick. That is just...well sick!

  22. Damn, I wish I'd have read this yesterday BEFORE I exposed my kids to the deadly, contagious Santa. Crap.

    Well, I sanitized the hell out of them before and after, so hopefully we're good to go.

  23. I always wondered where they got these santas from.

    I mean is it a volunteer job or what?

    So glad my kids are past the visiting santa phase.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  27. when you started speaking about sick santas, I was thinking something entirely different.

    ReplyDelete
  28. This really makes us wanna be more careful about those Santas

    ReplyDelete
  29. I have always been scared of sitting on santa's lap. I screamed when I was three and they tried a few more years and I never went again. My Aunt would have to take me somewhere else while the other kids did Santa.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I would hate for children to get fondled inappropriately by Santa if he had the SARS. That would just be wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Reason #482 I'm glad I'm a Heeb.

  34. All those years I let my kids sit on Santa's lap, now they are too old and you are just now telling me this!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I confess. I sat on a Santa's lap about three years ago...on a double dog dare. Yup. I did. Now if I had read this first, I may not have. Then I would have been called a pussy. Whew.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Too bad we are too old to believe in santa:)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ah geez -- what happened to Santas like 'Miracle on 34th Street?'

    ReplyDelete
  38. I played Santa last year for two full days. Costume and all. Now you've got me wondering what people were thinking about me!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Actually I think there's no problem except with a Billy Bob Thornton Santa...always so creepy, and in SLING BLADE he wasn't acting!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Bad Santa is one of my favorite raunchy comedy movies. " That's some lip you got on you midget", makes lose it every time. I almost choked to death eating popcorn the first time I saw this movie. It is a "No Eating or Drinking" movie for sure.
