Roughly 4 out of 10 Britons — 39 percent — think Santa Claus can be gay, according to a YouGov poll released the day before Christmas Eve. The results come after the Norwegian postal service released an annual Christmas video featuring Santa Claus falling in love with another man to mark the 50th anniversary of Norway’s decriminalization of homosexuality. The video, entitled “When Harry Met Santa,” is a four-minute short film in which the main character interacts with Santa Claus several times, before writing him a letter stating: “Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is you.”

Brazilian tour guide Marcos Renan Fagundes de Macedo dresses up as Santa Claus every year to deliver toys to underprivileged children in São Paulo •The 32-year-old was on his way to deliver gifts on Sunday when his 1969 Volkswagen Beetle broke down •The married father-of-two had forgotten to turn off the headlights while he was handing out gifts in the Bertioga neighborhood of Vicente de Carvalho II •The car broke down in the middle of a highway and they were able to refuel it but then noticed that the battery had been drained by the lights •Despite being able to...

TRENTON, NJ – Trenton liberal Democrats have completely lost their minds. First, let’s start with the left not even liking Christmas and wanting to cancel the entire deal. But, now since it can be used to push the vaccine agenda of the Murphy administration, the NJ DOH is paying, with taxpayer money to produce and run commercials of a boy with asking Santa for the COVID-19 vaccine instead of games and toys. “Dear Santa, I don’t want games. I don’t want toys. Just get me the COVID-19 vaccine,” the boy says. Many New Jerseyeans expressed their shock at the disturbing...

President Joe Biden joked about inflation and supply chain disruptions on Wednesday, admitting it would “cost Santa some money” to get gifts out to children this year. Biden was asked by a South Carolina local news anchor, News19’s Darci Strickland, in an interview about whether inflation and supply chains would be a problem for Christmas shoppers.

In southern Indiana, in a town of just over 2,500 people, one name stands out everywhere you look … on the hardware store, the community center, even the fire department (with trucks named after some familiar reindeer). But the town's most important distinction? It has the only post office bearing Santa Claus' name. For more than 90 years, letters from around the world have found their way here, to Santa Claus, Ind. ... "It was in 1930 that 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' had a cartoon saying, 'If you write to this little town in Indiana, you'll get a letter.'...

“I intended to paint a cross in this particular painting, but I did it in the shape of a star, because I think the cross and the message of the cross is central to the Christmas story,” she said, adding that she took a break from painting once the cross was finished. “When I walked back into the room, where it sat on the easel, I immediately saw another cross that I did not intend to be there, and it is perfectly positioned at the feet of Jesus.” When the painting was done, she found that a lot of people...

What would you add to that list?

Twitter/ScreenshotOne of those special things at this time of year is when kids get to meet with or get a call from Santa Claus. Now that conversation is usually about Santa asking if they’ve been good this year or what they want for Christmas. But this year, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer interfered in the normal tradition of childhood and used an imitation Santa Claus to tell little kids that they should follow her Wuhan coronavirus rules, saying Santa was “following the rules” and making sure that “he stayed safe and the elves stayed safe.” I don’t know about those poor...

The NRA just one-upped Santa — lock, stock and barrel. The gun rights group delivered Nerf guns to a 4-year-old Illinois boy who burst into tears when a politically correct mall Santa told him he couldn’t have one earlier this month. “Mean Santa didn’t want to give me a Nerf gun for Christmas,‘’ said little Michael DeCarlo, dressed in Army camouflage, in a video posted on the National Rifle Association’s website over the weekend.

A gun-grabbing Santa brought a little boy to tears in Illinois. The boy simply asked the Grinch posing as Jolly St. Nick for a nerf gun for Christmas. This Santa stepped out of his role and decided to make the boy feel bad about his Christmas wish. This was out of a scene from “A Christmas Story,” but even worse. Had this liberal Santa said, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” at least there would have been some chuckles. But, this Scrooge just flat out refused to listen to this kid. He immediately stopped the boy when the Nerf gun...

by Chuck NessWe find ourselves at the doorstep of Christmas again, so in the spirit of the season, and just so I can be fair and equitable with my political opinions, I have decided to share what I think of Santa’s political persuasion. Now, do not think that I'm putting a nonexistent, beloved, character on the same level as Jesus, I'm not. So lighten up all you Francis's out there, and try not to misconstrue the meaning of this article. I offer it as a simple, fun explanation of how I see Democrats and what I think Santa’s political leanings...

A mall Santa dropped the hammer on a little boy who asked him for a Nerf gun for Christmas — telling the bawling kid he wouldn’t bring him the toy. The politically correct Kris Kringle was caught on video asking the child what he wanted for the holiday, according to a Facebook post by the boy’s mother. The boy apparently mentioned a gun, because the Santa could be heard replying, “No, no guns.’’ When the kid’s mom, who was standing nearby, piped in just to be clear, “Nerf gun,’’ the not-so-jolly Ol’ St. Nick was still having none of it....

<p>OMFG, my cousin got these for her kids for Christmas. All the Karen's on her Facebook were gushing about how politically correct the doll was wearing a mask. Are we in the Soviet Union or what? Dept of Elf Magic? Unreal.</p>

Santa will be spreading lots of joy — not COVID-19 — when he visits millions of homes this Christmas. That’s because Kris Kringle is immune to coronavirus, according to the nation’s top infectious disease expert. “Santa is exempt from this because Santa, of all the good qualities, has a lot of good innate immunity,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA Today.

A father has left his neighbors 'laughing their heads off' after accidentally ordering a 25-foot inflatable Santa. Matty James, 32, believed he had purchased a eight foot blow-up Father Christmas from eBay - only for the festive whopper to turn out to be 25 feet instead. The nightclub owner, from Southport, Merseyside, spent $130 on the inflatable decoration in the hope of sprucing out the outside of his home for the festive season, but was left open-mouthed when the flaccid St Nick was blown up earlier this month.
