Why, Santa, Why?

For reasons beyond me, I decided to IMDb search Santa Claus, and what I saw surprised me: he has his own page, complete with the 606 movies or television shows that he’s been in. Whether it’s the title or just because it’s terrible, here are some of the worst Santa appearances:

This guy has had a busy career. And I didn't even mention The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause with Tim Allen.

It might seem a little early for me to be doing posts on Santa, but considering I'll be in Israel over Christmas (which will also mean that I'll be on a ten-day hiatus from posting), I gotta start now to make up for the lost time. More to follow.
