It's apparently an unofficial holiday tradition -- beating the crap out of the dude in the Santa Claus suit. Even a half-century ago, Santa's red-garbed, jelly-bellied imitators were not immune to the aggressions of reckless youth with time to waste, carrying grudges about Christmases past. In December, 1947, a small AP item ran nationwide about five teen boys who assaulted one John Logan as he made his way home after playing Santa one evening in an Ohio department store. The boys apparently jumped St. Nick in an alley that December night, tearing off his "flowing white beard and wig."

Those teens' spiritual kin live on today in 2007, giving Santas the world over all sorts of hell, up to and including gunfire...

Here's my post about the War on Santa :)crazy:) for RadarOnline.com:

That's very funny. Thanks for sharing it.

Personally, I can understand wanting to smack Santa, but civilization requires restraint.
 
If it's not Santa, it's the Easter bunny and maybe that guy in the chicken suit advertising the nearest restaurant opening..
